A river at sunrise hits different when you're the one painting it — that moment when the sky goes from deep purple to burning orange and the whole thing mirrors itself in the water below. That's what we're building together on Saturday afternoon, and I love this painting because it looks stunning even when it's your first time picking up a brush. I've run 933 of these events, so I'll meet you where you are, and Spins has drinks and food to keep the afternoon feeling easy. The colors in this one — black into pink into orange — just glow when they come together.
We can host in either our lounge or in the Restaurant. Can cater to an 18+ group or a family setting. Fully licensed and food options in both venues.

Erin has always had a passion for art. From painting murals on her bedroom walls since she's was 10 to always finding a creative side. She has dabbled with a variety of courses in acrylic, watercolour, and oil.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Sunrise River is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Erin 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. Erin is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Spins VLT room and Smitty's Restaurant , 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.
Erin is a real local artist based in Edmonton — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 20 out of 31 guests who've painted with Erin say the instruction was amazing. Sherry C. said: 'Not rushed. Not too crowded and great instructions. Was perfect'
Spins VLT room and Smitty's Restaurant 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 133 upcoming events in Edmonton this month. You can view them here.
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 Sunrise River 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 Erin. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Spins VLT room and Smitty's Restaurant — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Spins VLT room and Smitty's Restaurant 's event starts at 1:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 12:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Erin 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.
