Koi's will be Koi's

Yes. Koi's will be Koi's is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Shilpa 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. Shilpa is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at TGIFridays, 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.

Shilpa is a real local artist based in MILLBURY — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. Paint Nite artists complete our certification program before their first event. Across all Paint Nite events, 93% of guests say their instructor was amazing. Tracy C. said: 'Paint nite with Shilpa was so much fun! I highly recommend her classes. It was a small group so we did lots of extra things and learned all kind of techniques! Shilpa was very generous with us all....'

TGIFridays is a local venue in MILLBURY — 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.

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 MILLBURY, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to Koi's will be Koi's 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 Shilpa. Drinks and food are ordered separately from TGIFridays — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

TGIFridays's event starts at 11:00 AM. We suggest showing up by 10:30 AM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Shilpa 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.
