Question 1

Is “Starry Ghosts” good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

“Starry Ghosts” is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Rob paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Rob will help you turn any mistake into something intentional. 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. Rob is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Broadway Bar and Grill - Barrhaven, 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

Is this good for a girls night or bachelorette party in Ottawa?

Accepted Answer

Yes — “Starry Ghosts” is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Ottawa. Everyone paints their own canvas, so there's always something to laugh about at the end. If you're planning a bachelorette party or a larger group, private events of 10+ get reserved seating and a custom experience.

Question 4

What's Rob like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Rob is a real local artist based in Ottawa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Ottawa, 54 out of 75 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing. Anna K. said: 'Amazing painting and amazing host!!'

Question 5

What's Broadway Bar and Grill - Barrhaven like?

Accepted Answer

Broadway Bar and Grill - Barrhaven is a local venue in Ottawa — 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 6

Are there more Paint Nite events in Ottawa?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 111 upcoming events in Ottawa this month.

Question 7

Is “Starry Ghosts” a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

“Starry Ghosts” is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.

Question 8

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 Ottawa, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 9

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to “Starry Ghosts” 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 Rob. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Broadway Bar and Grill - Barrhaven — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 10

How long is “Starry Ghosts”?

Accepted Answer

Broadway Bar and Grill - Barrhaven'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 Rob starts the painting.

Question 11

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Question 12

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.
