Question 1

Is Starry Beach good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Starry Beach is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Natalie 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. Natalie is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Boston Pizza WestMount, 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 Natalie like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Natalie is a real local artist based in Edmonton — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Edmonton, 61 out of 68 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing. lesley m. said: 'The host was very knowledgeable and easy to follow along..she was also alot of fun to be with and made everyone feel comfortable and included... wonderful person to be around... great energy!!'

Question 4

What's Boston Pizza WestMount like?

Accepted Answer

Boston Pizza WestMount 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 130 upcoming events in Edmonton this month.

Question 6

Is Starry Beach a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Starry Beach 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 Starry Beach 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 Natalie. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Boston Pizza WestMount — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Starry Beach?

Accepted Answer

Boston Pizza WestMount's doors open at 11:00 AM, the 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 Natalie 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

This event has reached our minimum attendance threshold and is guaranteed to run. If we ever have to cancel a guaranteed event, every ticket holder receives a full automatic refund plus a free ticket to a future Paint Nite — no questions asked. The only exception is weather or force majeure, where full refunds are issued but free tickets are not.
