Friday night after a day of dodging shopping chaos, there's something quietly satisfying about trading all of that for a paintbrush and a glass of something good — and that's exactly the energy I'm hoping to bring into JoseSanDance. The painting we're working on is Holiday Barn, and I've been genuinely looking forward to this one: a weathered barn tucked under a big open sky, dark clouds rolling in, evergreens standing tall around it, the whole scene built in deep blacks and blues with flashes of red and warm brown that keep it from feeling cold. It has this moody, grounded quality that I think is going to feel incredible on canvas by the end of the night. I'll meet you where you are — no experience needed, and the steps build in a way that lets the painting come together naturally. JoseSanDance has a warmth to it that already sets the right tone before you even pick up a brush. By the end of the evening, you'll have that barn hanging in front of

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Holiday Barn is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Team Creative 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. Team Creative is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at JoseSanDance, 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.
Team Creative is a real local artist based in Ottawa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Ottawa, 62 out of 85 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing. Deryn C. said: 'The host was very supportive and patient. She made sure everyone had what they needed'
JoseSanDance 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.
Yes — we have 210 upcoming events in Ottawa this month. You can view them here.
Holiday Barn is a winter painting — cozy seasonal vibes for a great night out.
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.
Your ticket to Holiday Barn 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 Team Creative. Drinks and food are ordered separately from JoseSanDance — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
JoseSanDance's doors open at 6:30 PM, the event starts at 6:30 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:00 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Team Creative 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.
