Joyce of Art!! #TeamCreativeMagic is hosting a Paint Nite where you'll create "Summer Oranges." This event is all about having a fun night out, so grab your friends and get ready for a casual painting party. No experience is needed, just come as you are and enjoy a laid-back atmosphere where laughter and creativity flow as freely as the paint. All supplies are included, so you can focus on having a blast instead of worrying about what to bring. You'll be painting a vibrant 16" x 20" canvas featuring bright and cheerful oranges that evoke the warmth of summer. Joyce isn't just any instructor; with a stellar rating of 4.71 stars and over 1842 events hosted, she's got the experience to make your evening enjoyable and memorable. You’ll receive all painting supplies, and don’t worry about a thing—everything is provided for you. This event welcomes kids and up, and lasts about 120 minutes of pure fun. Join us at the Portage Orchard Pub & Grill, conveniently located at 131 Promenade du Portage in Gatineau. This local hotspot is perfect for a night out with friends or a unique date night idea that stands out from the usual dinner and movie routine. Whether you're looking for things to do in Gatineau or simply want to enjoy a Gatineau paint night, this event has got you covered. The relaxed vibe of the pub adds to the experience, making it easy to unwind while you paint. So grab a drink, let loose, and enjoy creating your own version of "Summer Oranges."

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Summer Oranges is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Joyce (Of Art!!) 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. Joyce (Of Art!!) is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Portage Orchard Pub & Grill, 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.
Joyce (Of Art!!) is a real local artist based in Gatineau — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 53 out of 63 guests who've painted with Joyce (Of Art!!) say the instruction was amazing. GAIL C. said: 'Joyce's events are always lively and fun. I always learn something new from her teaching.'
Portage Orchard Pub & Grill is a local venue in Gatineau — 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 9 upcoming events in Gatineau this month. You can view them here.
Summer Oranges 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 Gatineau, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Summer Oranges 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 Joyce (Of Art!!). Drinks and food are ordered separately from Portage Orchard Pub & Grill — 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 Joyce (Of Art!!) 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.
