Moonrise Forest

Yes. Moonrise Forest is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Glen 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. Glen is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Rec Room South, 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 — Moonrise Forest is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Edmonton. 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.

Glen is a real local artist based in Edmonton — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 25 out of 25 guests who've painted with Glen say the instruction was amazing. Val M. said: 'Great location with spacious room between each painter at the table, supplies provided was good quality, instructor, Glen was organized, friendly and very knowledgeable. The instructions were easily...'

Rec Room South is a local venue in Edmonton — 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 108 upcoming events in Edmonton this month. You can view them here.

Moonrise Forest 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 Edmonton, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to Moonrise Forest 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 Glen. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Rec Room South — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Rec Room South's event starts at 6:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 5:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Glen 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.
