Join us for a night of fun with Aswini as we paint "Bright Northern Lights" at East Side Heartland. This event is designed for all skill levels, making it the perfect opportunity for a memorable night out with friends or family. All supplies are included, so just bring your favorite beverage (for purchase at East Side) and get ready to unwind. Think of this as a social experience where laughter and creativity collide, not an art class where you feel the pressure.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Bright Northern Lights is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Aswini 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. Aswini is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at East Side Heartland, 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.
Aswini is a real local artist based in Mississauga — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 14 out of 15 guests who've painted with Aswini say the instruction was amazing. Eric H. said: 'Great instructions. Excellent feedback. Very patient lesson.'
East Side Heartland is a local venue in Mississauga — 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 113 upcoming events in Mississauga this month. You can view them here.
Bright Northern Lights is a winter painting — cozy seasonal vibes for a great night out.
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 Mississauga, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Bright Northern Lights 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 Aswini . Drinks and food are ordered separately from East Side Heartland — 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 Aswini 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.
