Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Orca Daze is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Vivian 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. Vivian is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at The Rec Room - Barrie, 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.
Vivian is a real local artist based in Barrie — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Barrie, 9 out of 13 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing. Joanna M. said: 'We really enjoyed this event. Our instructor was great, encouraging and took the time to come around to anyone who wanted some help even though it was a fairly large group. We like having the private...'
The Rec Room - Barrie is a local venue in Barrie — 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 23 upcoming events in Barrie this month. You can view them here.
Orca Daze is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.
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 Barrie, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Orca Daze 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 Vivian. Drinks and food are ordered separately from The Rec Room - Barrie — 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 Vivian 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.
