Paint Nite in Auburn is the city's favourite paint and sip night — a guided painting party hosted right inside local Auburn bars and restaurants, not a formal art studio. A local artist walks you and your group through a featured painting over about two hours while you enjoy a drink of your choice. Everything you need is included: easel, canvas, paints, brushes and an apron. You just bring your people.
Whether you're planning a date night, a birthday, a team social or a low-key evening out, our Auburn events run across the most popular neighbourhoods in and around New Hampshire. Browse upcoming nights by date, venue or artist below, grab your seat, and check out online in under a minute — no experience required, and you take your canvas home.
New to it? Most first-timers are genuinely surprised by what they paint. The whole point of Paint Nite is that anyone can do it: your artist breaks the painting into simple, guided steps and works the room the entire time. Prefer to stay in? We also run live virtual and on-demand classes you can paint from home, anywhere in New Hampshire.

Things to Do Near a Paint Nite in Auburn
The most romantic rooms in Auburn
Candlelit wine bars and skylit lounges make Paint Nite one of the most-booked date nights in Auburn — a low-pressure, high-charm evening that beats another dinner-and-a-movie.
Sort out the office social
Our larger Auburn venues seat big groups, and we can run a private party just for your crew — no strangers at the table. It breaks the ice better than any escape room.
Easy to get to
Nearly every Auburn venue is a short walk from transit or has parking nearby, so the whole group can get there easily — and get home easily after.
The local model
How Paint Nite Works in Auburn
Every night is run by real local people — an event planner, a host artist, and a neighbourhood venue. Here's who makes it happen.
Local event planners
A local event planner books the venues, lines up the artists and builds the Auburn calendar — running it like their own small business.
Your host artist
A vetted local artist leads the room, teaching the painting step by step and keeping the night fun. Every host is a real person from your area — trained and quality-reviewed, never a script-reading franchise employee.
Local venues
We don't own a single building. Every Auburn night happens at a real neighbourhood bar or restaurant with a full bar and kitchen.
You
Show up, paint, sip and laugh. Leave with a canvas you made yourself — no experience needed.
Do you have a space to host events?
Bars and restaurants across Auburn fill seats and sell drinks on slow weeknights by hosting Paint Nite. We bring the artists, the supplies and the crowd — you bring the room.

What Auburn Guests Are Saying
We had a great time, the instructor genuinely enjoyed her job, made you feel comfortable, welcome, she was very helpful, engaged, positive & it was really encouraging, fun, funny & gave any of us "non painters" with no experience the confidence to turn something blank into something beautiful

The artist showing us what to do, Josh, did a Great Job. The group was crowded together in a room that was, otherwise, empty of people. I have great difficulty sitting on a bar stool or bar chair. I had to stand up for over half the lesson. I did have a good time and am pleased with the painting I created.

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. She is very patient and a talented artist and teacher. This was a wonderful night out, though a small group we had lots of fun. The venue -Flying Dreams Brewery was awesome as well! Shilpa does private events , what a wonderful gathering that would make for friends and family! If you are interested in
