I am an artist living in the Fraser Valley who likes to share her passion for art and watch people improving their painting skill.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Lady in a Red Hat is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Jitka breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Jitka is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Paliotti’s Italian Restaurant , a real local spot, not a studio. Paint Nite invented this format in 2012 and has sold more than 10 million tickets. The trade-off is honest: lighting varies, it can get loud, and the person at the next easel is a stranger. That's the point. It's more of a night out than a class.
Jitka is a real local artist based in Abbotsford — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 22 out of 39 guests who've painted with Jitka say the instruction was amazing. Christina B. said: 'Great instructor and beautiful piece. My husband and I had our second date at PaintNite and it was great to return eight years later to revisit the experience where the magic started between us!'
Paliotti’s Italian Restaurant is a local venue in Abbotsford — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Paint Nite events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.
Yes — we have 11 upcoming events in Abbotsford this month. You can view them here.
Yaymaker is Paint Nite. We brought both brands together under the Paint Nite name — same artists, same events, same format we invented in 2012. More than 10 million tickets have been sold across both brands combined. If you used to attend Yaymaker events in Abbotsford , you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Lady in a Red Hat includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Jitka. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Paliotti’s Italian Restaurant — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
This event runs approximately 2 hours. Doors open at 2:00 PM — we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to get settled and order your first drink before Jitka starts the painting.
You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 24 hours before this one starts. After that, tickets are locked — no refunds or changes. If Paint Nite cancels this event for any reason, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
