Question 1

Is Lakeside Dreamer  good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lakeside Dreamer  is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Arpitha 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.

Question 2

How is Paint Nite different from a painting class?

Accepted Answer

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Arpitha is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Cineplex JUNXION Erin Mills, 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.

Question 3

Is this good for a girls night or bachelorette party in Mississauga?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Lakeside Dreamer  is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Mississauga. Everyone paints their own canvas, so there's always something to laugh about at the end. If you're planning a bachelorette party or a larger group, private events of 10+ get reserved seating and a custom experience.

Question 4

What's Arpitha like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Arpitha is a real local artist based in Mississauga — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire.

Question 5

What's Cineplex JUNXION Erin Mills like?

Accepted Answer

Cineplex JUNXION Erin Mills 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.

Question 6

Is Lakeside Dreamer  a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Lakeside Dreamer  is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.

Question 7

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Lakeside Dreamer  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 Arpitha. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Cineplex JUNXION Erin Mills — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Lakeside Dreamer ?

Accepted Answer

Cineplex JUNXION Erin Mills's event starts at 4:30 PM. We suggest showing up by 4:00 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Arpitha starts the painting.

Question 10

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

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.
