How much does a Paint Nite cost in Edmonton?

Most in-person Edmonton 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.

Where are Paint Nite events held in Edmonton?

We host inside local bars and restaurants right across Edmonton and the surrounding Alberta area. See the venues and map below — nearly every spot is easy to reach by transit or has nearby parking.

Do I need to be good at painting?

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.

Is Paint Nite a good date night in Edmonton?

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.

Can I book a private party or corporate event?

Yes. We run private Paint Nites for birthdays, bachelorettes, team socials and corporate events around Edmonton — at a venue or at your office. You get the whole room, your own artist, and a custom painting option.

How do I book tickets?

Find an event by date, venue or artist on this page, hit "Grab a Seat," and check out online in under a minute. You'll get an email confirmation with the venue address and everything you need to bring (which is basically nothing).

Are there virtual and at-home options?

Yes. Live virtual Paint Nites are streamed by a real artist so you can paint from home with a kit, and on-demand classes let you paint anytime at your own pace. Both are location-independent — perfect for a quieter night in.

How is this different from Yaymaker?

Paint Nite is the original. Same energy, same local artists, same take-home canvas — now under PaintNite.com. If you painted with us under another name in the past, you're in the right place.

Do you host events outside Edmonton?

Absolutely — we run events across Canada. Scroll to "Nearby cities" to jump to your area.

What Edmonton Guests Are Saying

I took my 6 year old daughter for a mom/daughter date and we had a great time. The host helped my daughter whenever she needed help. The host also gave suggestions on how to fix mistakes if you made one m. It was my first time doing this and my painting turned out not to bad. I will definitely go back and do another one.

Elena was an awesome instructor. She was attentive to all her students. We are looking forward to many more classes with her!

Great location with spacious room between each painter at the table, supplies provided was good quality, instructor, Glen was organized, friendly and very knowledgeable. The instructions were easily understood and explained. Thanks for sharing your talent and humor with us, Glen. 😉

What a great time, It's intimate and interactive. A fun crowd with lots of laughs. Our painting guru Josh is an excellent painter and teacher, patient with jokes for days. My wife and I will be going again and again.

Kaylee was INCREDIBLE! Myself and a group of friends have only been going to events by Kevin, Josh and Glen for the last year and a half to 2 years. We've been hesitant to try "new teachers" after a painting that went horribly wrong about a 2 years ago. Seriously, it was bad haha. Kaylee was welcoming, patient and super encouraging. One of my friends is constantly doubting herself through every painting she does, no matter how easy it is. With Kaylee, my friend was confident, happy and she didn'
