4.8 average ratingPaint Nite in Chestermere is the city's favourite paint and sip night — a guided painting party hosted right inside local Chestermere bars and restaurants, not a formal art studio. 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.
Whether you're planning a date night, a birthday, a team social or a low-key evening out, our Chestermere events run across the most popular neighbourhoods in and around Alberta. Browse upcoming nights by date, venue or artist below, grab your seat, and check out online in under a minute — no experience required, and you take your canvas home.
New to it? Most first-timers are genuinely surprised by what they paint. The whole point of Paint Nite is that anyone can do it: your artist breaks the painting into simple, guided steps and works the room the entire time. Prefer to stay in? We also run live virtual and on-demand classes you can paint from home, anywhere in Alberta.
We host inside real neighbourhood bars and restaurants — explore the rooms, then pick your night.

Serendipity. That’s how we describe how we came together to form a community brewery in Calgary over a decade ago. Seven founders with over 180 years of beer experience came together to make beer they’d want to drink and do some good in the community. The result? The ultimate community-focused craft brewery. And, umm, did we mention tasty beer?

Most of our Chestermere 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 Chestermere — a low-pressure, high-charm evening that beats another dinner-and-a-movie.
Our larger Chestermere 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 Chestermere 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 Chestermere 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 Chestermere 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 Chestermere 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.
