Channel your inner Van Gogh and enjoy a drink as a helpful instructor takes you step-by-step through the brush strokes of your own masterpiece at Paint Nite, a two-hour painting event held weekly in cities across the world.
The Paint Nite trend started with one event at a Boston bar in March 2012 and has since expanded in two years to more than 1,100 events per month with 55,000 people attending in bars and restaurants in the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Hong Kong, Argentina and Ghana.
The social painting activity combines eating and drinking at a favorite local restaurant with the artistic outlet of painting and professional artistic instruction. During the session, the talented and enthusiastic instructor inspires and instructs the attendees as they create their own paintings to take home, have a few drinks and meet new people in a laid-back atmosphere.
Not an artist? No experience is required to attend. Paint Nite caters to participants of all artistic abilities and is popular with couples on dates, group outings, wedding showers, bachelorette parties, office parties, fundraisers and anyone who wants to enjoy a unique night of entertainment. The event provides all necessary painting materials, including canvas, paints, brushes and smocks.
