How much does a Paint Nite cost in Kanata?

Most in-person Kanata 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 Kanata?

We host inside local bars and restaurants right across Kanata and the surrounding Ontario 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 Kanata?

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 Kanata — 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 Kanata?

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

This was such a fun night! It was easy to follow along, the instructions were great and we were given ample time to complete each step. We all loved it and would definitely go again!

Kayla B.

It was so much fun and a great way to spend an evening with family & friends. You don’t need any previous painting experience and our host Cecilia made it very easy to learn and have fun. Highly recommended!

This paint nite was fantastic!! Savannah was such a wonderful, personable, kind and very helpful teacher who made this painting not only fun, but I learned some great techniques. We painted birds which are a very difficult thing to paint, but she broke it down in such easy steps, I love how my birds turned out!! Great teacher, beautiful painting- would definitely go again.

We had a lovely paint night with Mayisha. It was a really pretty painting, with clear instructions, and we all had a really nice evening!

London was awesome! They lead well and encouraged each participant. My friends and are planning to go as a group soon!
