Join Joyce of Art!! #TeamCreativeMagic for a lively virtual Paint Nite where you’ll create a vibrant piece called "She Blooms." This is not your run-of-the-mill art class; it’s a fun night in where the painting is just the excuse to gather with friends and enjoy some laughs. Perfect for beginners and seasoned painters alike, this event invites you to unleash your inner fun while creating a stunning 16" x 20" canvas of flowers in beautiful shades of blue, pink, yellow, brown, and black that symbolize spring and freedom. Joyce boasts an impressive 4.71-star rating from over 1800 events and almost 2700 glowing reviews, so you know you're in great hands. During this 120-minute event, you’ll enjoy live instruction, upbeat music, and interactive games that keep the energy high and spirits even higher. Open to all ages, this is a fantastic way to spend time with family or friends, whether near or far. You’ll leave feeling accomplished, and with a beautiful piece of art to remind you of the fun you had. Imagine cozying up in your pajamas, sips in hand, with no parking hassles or traffic to worry about. Our virtual Paint Nite is designed for maximum convenience, allowing you to feel at ease while still enjoying a lively atmosphere. The Zoom platform keeps things interactive, so you can chat, laugh, and share your progress with Joyce and fellow participants. Why spend another night scrolling through social media or binge-watching shows when you can connect with others, have fun, and create something special together from the comfort of your own home?

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. She Blooms 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 Virtually Anywhere with Joyce in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, eh?, 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.
Yes — She Blooms is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Ottawa. 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.
Joyce (Of Art!!) is a real local artist based in Ottawa — 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.'
Virtually Anywhere with Joyce in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, eh? is a local venue in Ottawa — 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 111 upcoming events in Ottawa this month. You can view them here.
She Blooms is a spring painting — a fresh seasonal pick that captures the energy of the season.
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 Ottawa, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to She Blooms 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 Virtually Anywhere with Joyce in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, eh? — 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.
