Question 1

Is Sea Turtle Dream good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sea Turtle Dream is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Joshua  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.

Question 2

How is Paint Nite different from a painting class?

Accepted Answer

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Joshua  is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Boston Pizza Namao Centre, 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.

Question 3

What's Joshua  like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Joshua  is a real local artist based in Edmonton — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 22 out of 23 guests who've painted with Joshua  say the instruction was amazing. mark m. said: 'What a great time, It's intimate and interactive. A fun crowd with lots of laughs. Our painting guru Josh is an excellent painter and teacher, patient with jokes for days. My wife and I will be going...'

Question 4

What's Boston Pizza Namao Centre like?

Accepted Answer

Boston Pizza Namao Centre 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.

Question 5

Are there more Paint Nite events in Edmonton?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 134 upcoming events in Edmonton this month.

Question 6

Is Sea Turtle Dream a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Sea Turtle Dream is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.

Question 7

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Sea Turtle Dream 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 Joshua . Drinks and food are ordered separately from Boston Pizza Namao Centre — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Sea Turtle Dream?

Accepted Answer

Boston Pizza Namao Centre's event starts at 7:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Joshua  starts the painting.

Question 10

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

What does "Guaranteed to Run" mean?

Accepted Answer

The only exception is weather or force majeure, where full refunds are issued but free tickets are not.
