Pizza and paint on a Tuesday afternoon — honestly, that's a pretty good way to break up the week. I'm Zen, and I'll be leading you through "Date Night," a moody, beautiful piece that plays with deep blacks, rich purples, and warm yellows in a way that feels bold but totally doable. The leafy details give it this quiet elegance, and watching it come together on your canvas is one of my favorite parts of the night. Freeman's Little New York has been feeding Halifax since 1956, so the food and the atmosphere are already sorted — you just show up. I've got you completely covered on the art side, no matter where you're starting from. Bring someone, bring a group, or just come solo and make new friends in the room.
Open Late Night 7 days a week! An original Pizzeria with full dining room & lounge. With 4 Metro Locations, proudly serving Halifax since 1956.

Zen is an experienced freelance illustrator and he is very excited to bring paint parties back to Nova Scotia! Zen hosts events of all types of Paint Nights including special occasions, private events, corporate team-building, birthday parties, bridal showers, girls nights out.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes — Date Night is one of our most approachable paintings. Absolute first-timers finish this one looking great. Zen walks you through every step, and the whole group moves together so nobody falls behind. 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. Zen is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Freeman's Little New York Sackville, 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.
Date Night is one of our most popular date night paintings in Lower Sackville. You each paint your own canvas — same painting, different results — which always makes for a fun comparison at the end of the night. The mood of the painting is romantic — expect something beautiful to bring home.
Zen is a real local artist based in Lower Sackville — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 23 out of 25 guests who've painted with Zen say the instruction was amazing. Donalda R. said: 'Our host Zen was the absolute best. 8 adults with varying disabilities celebrating a birthday. Zen encouraged everyone, made all off of them feel welcome and amazingly talented. Giggles and laughter...'
Freeman's Little New York Sackville is a local venue in Lower Sackville — 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 39 upcoming events in Lower Sackville this month. You can view them here.
Date Night 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 Lower Sackville, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Date Night 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 Zen. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Freeman's Little New York Sackville — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Freeman's Little New York Sackville'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 Zen 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.
