A local artist walks you and your group through a featured painting over about two hours while you enjoy a drink of your choice. Everything you need is included: easel, canvas, paints, brushes and an apron. You just bring your people.

Most of our Airdrie venues are full bars and kitchens, so come hungry. Grab a bite and a drink before your easel, then settle in — your supplies are already waiting at your seat.
Candlelit wine bars and skylit lounges make Paint Nite one of the most-booked date nights in Airdrie — a low-pressure, high-charm evening that beats another dinner-and-a-movie.
Our larger Airdrie venues seat big groups, and we can run a private party just for your crew — no strangers at the table. It breaks the ice better than any escape room.
Nearly every Airdrie venue is a short walk from transit or has parking nearby, so the whole group can get there easily — and get home easily after.
Every night is run by real local people — an event planner, a host artist, and a neighbourhood venue. Here's who makes it happen.
A local event planner books the venues, lines up the artists and builds the Airdrie calendar — running it like their own small business.
A vetted local artist leads the room, teaching the painting step by step and keeping the night fun. Every host is a real person from your area — trained and quality-reviewed, never a script-reading franchise employee.
We don't own a single building. Every Airdrie night happens at a real neighbourhood bar or restaurant with a full bar and kitchen.
Show up, paint, sip and laugh. Leave with a canvas you made yourself — no experience needed.
Bars and restaurants across Airdrie fill seats and sell drinks on slow weeknights by hosting Paint Nite. We bring the artists, the supplies and the crowd — you bring the room.
The faces behind the easels
Mike is an awesome teacher and explained each step throughly. It was a really fun event.
My Mom and I had a great time! Christy was really great and super friendly! The music in the pub was quite loud though.
My friend and I attended Paint “Nite” in the afternoon and it was so nice and relaxing. Our teacher Olympia was awesome! She was very attentive, friendly and helpful. It was a small group and it was very enjoyable. I will definitely do it again. Thank you!
The venue has its own section so no interaction with regular bar customers. Parking is available throughout the plaza. Easy to get to. Artist is very nice and helps when you struggle.
Very relaxed environment with a lovely host! My family can’t believe I made something that looks so professional!
Love art and a good crowd? Become a Paint Nite host artist, set your own schedule, and get paid to lead the most fun night in town.
Can't make it out? Paint from home with a live virtual class led by a real artist, or grab an on-demand class and paint whenever you like.
Paint Nite is a social painting event hosted at bars and restaurants across Airdrie — not an art studio. A local artist guides you and your group through a featured painting over about two hours while you enjoy a drink. It's a night out first and an art class second: no experience required, and you take your canvas home.
Most in-person Airdrie events include your easel, canvas, paints, brushes, an apron and your artist for the night. Food and drinks are purchased separately at the venue. Virtual and on-demand classes are priced lower since they're location-independent. Check any event below for its exact price.
We host inside local bars and restaurants right across Airdrie and the surrounding Alberta area. See the venues and map below — nearly every spot is easy to reach by transit or has nearby parking.
Not even a little. The whole point is that anyone can do it. Your artist breaks the painting into simple, guided steps and walks the room the entire time. Most first-timers are genuinely surprised by what they take home.
It's one of the most-booked date nights in the city. You get a drink, a relaxed room, something to actually do together, and a keepsake from the evening.
