How much does a Paint Nite cost in Richmond?

Most in-person Richmond events include your easel, canvas, paints, brushes, an apron and your artist for the night. Food and drinks are purchased separately at the venue. Virtual and on-demand classes are priced lower since they're location-independent. Check any event below for its exact price.

Where are Paint Nite events held in Richmond?

We host inside local bars and restaurants right across Richmond and the surrounding British Columbia area. See the venues and map below — nearly every spot is easy to reach by transit or has nearby parking.

Do I need to be good at painting?

Not even a little. The whole point is that anyone can do it. Your artist breaks the painting into simple, guided steps and walks the room the entire time. Most first-timers are genuinely surprised by what they take home.

Is Paint Nite a good date night in Richmond?

It's one of the most-booked date nights in the city. You get a drink, a relaxed room, something to actually do together, and a keepsake from the evening.

Can I book a private party or corporate event?

Yes. We run private Paint Nites for birthdays, bachelorettes, team socials and corporate events around Richmond — at a venue or at your office. You get the whole room, your own artist, and a custom painting option.

How do I book tickets?

Find an event by date, venue or artist on this page, hit "Grab a Seat," and check out online in under a minute. You'll get an email confirmation with the venue address and everything you need to bring (which is basically nothing).

Are there virtual and at-home options?

Yes. Live virtual Paint Nites are streamed by a real artist so you can paint from home with a kit, and on-demand classes let you paint anytime at your own pace. Both are location-independent — perfect for a quieter night in.

How is this different from Yaymaker?

Paint Nite is the original. Same energy, same local artists, same take-home canvas — now under PaintNite.com. If you painted with us under another name in the past, you're in the right place.

Do you host events outside Richmond?

Absolutely — we run events across Canada. Scroll to "Nearby cities" to jump to your area.

What Richmond Guests Are Saying

Super fun and hands on class! Teacher was great and made it easy

Featured Guest

Richmond

Really enjoyed the host/artist. She came around to each person to show the painting progress up close and offer suggestions. Very kind and pleasant demeanour. Great image too. Something different than mountains and lakes.

Erin B.

Long was our instructor and he was great! He was very supportive and friendly and encouraged everyone to relax and have fun and just enjoy the experience. All of our paintings turned out great and reflected the fun time each of us were having. Would highly recommend to anyone whether new painters or seasoned painters. Come with friends or alone. Lots of fun!

Martha T.

Great instructor and beautiful piece. My husband and I had our second date at PaintNite and it was great to return eight years later to revisit the experience where the magic started between us!

Zoë was an amazing teacher--so supportive and encouraging! I loved the atmosphere that she created where risk-taking was encouraged and creativity flourished. Thank you, Zoë!

So relaxed and fun. No matter your painting level the instructions are easy to follow. Had a wonderful time. Thankyou!

Amanda G.

Amanda was great. It looks like a tough painting but she made it seem easy and all of our paintings looked great!

I have never painted before, and was a bit trepidatious, but my artwork turned out pretty well. Let go and let the brushes flow!
