Get paid to lead the best night out in town
No studio. No degree. No experience required. We'll show you exactly how to host a Paint & Sip — then pay you to guide a roomful of people through a painting at your favorite local venues.
It takes the right person. Could it be you?
Hosting isn't just showing up. You're the energy in the room — the reason a table of strangers leaves as friends. It's a real performance, and for the right person it's the most rewarding gig around. Here's how it works.
Are you the right fit?
It starts with you. If you love people and aren't afraid of a little spotlight, apply now — the application is quick, free, and there's no commitment to see if it's a match.
We train & back you
If the fit is there, we teach you how to paint the featured paintings and coach you on leading a room with confidence — with real support that doesn't stop after your first event.
Show up & lead
Run the night: guide the painting, work the crowd, and keep the energy high for two hours. This is your stage — and the applause at the big reveal is yours too.
Build & earn more
Grow a following, step up to bigger events, and earn more for the same hours. The better you get, the more the role gives back.
Up to $150+ a night, doing something fun
Most hosts run a couple of events a week around their day job, their kids, or their classes. It adds up to real, meaningful income — and it never feels like work.
The fun job that fits your life
Total flexibility
Pick up events that fit your schedule. Nights, weekends, the occasional private party — you're never locked in.
No art background needed
You don't need to be an artist or an art teacher — and you definitely don't need a degree. We'll teach you the painting. You bring the personality.
Zero startup costs
Your Event Planner provides the supplies and books the venue. You just show up and create. Nothing to buy, nothing to risk.
A built-in community
Join 1,000+ hosts plus our home office and customer support team. There's always someone to swap tips and stories with.
Meet people, make friends
One of the best jobs around for growing your social circle. You'll meet new people at every event — guests and fellow hosts who become genuine friends.
Beat the stage fright
Forget Toastmasters. Leading a roomful of people is the fastest — and most fun — way to get genuinely comfortable speaking and performing in front of a crowd.
More than painting
Plant Nite, candle making, kids' events, private parties — bring whatever creative spark you've got to the table.
Room to grow
Love it and want more? Grow into an Event Planner and run your own roster of events and hosts when you're ready.
“I signed up to make a little extra money. I stayed because it's the most fun I have all week — the room is buzzing and everyone leaves proud of what they made.”
Let's find events near you
Takes about two minutes. We'll match you with a local Event Planner and get you in front of a crowd.
Questions, answered
Every Paint Nite event comes with a pre-designed painting and a step-by-step guide. You practice the painting once, then lead guests through it the same way at the event. We coach you on the rest — pacing, energy, and keeping the room having fun. No art background required.
Not at all. You don't need a teaching certificate, an art degree, or any formal training. Plenty of our best hosts had never picked up a brush before. If you're outgoing and reliable, we can teach you the painting part.
At local bars, restaurants, and community venues — your Event Planner books the space, so there's no studio to rent. You can also lead private parties, fundraisers, and corporate events.
Nothing. Hosting has zero startup costs. Your Event Planner provides the canvases, paint, easels, and aprons. You just show up and create.
Hosts earn up to $150+ per event, plus tips from guests, plus commissions any time your own original artwork is used at a Paint Nite event. Many hosts run a few events a week alongside other commitments.
Yes! Beyond Paint & Sip, hosts lead Plant Nite, candle making, kids' and family events, and more. Tell us what you're into on your application.
Run your own events business as an Event Planner
Prefer to book the venues, build a team of hosts, and own the brand? That's the Event Planner path — a low-cost alternative to a painting franchise.
