Grab your drink and settle in, because the painting we're doing tonight is one of my absolute favourites to teach — Peace Gnome, this wonderfully weird little character bursting with colour: blues, reds, yellows, greens, pinks, all of it. There's a joy to painting something that doesn't take itself too seriously, and a gnome throwing up a peace sign has that energy in spades. JoseSanDance is such a great room for a night like this — the space has real warmth to it, and it sets a tone that makes everything feel a little more relaxed and fun. I've run over a hundred of these nights, so I've got you completely — no experience needed, we'll build it up together stroke by stroke. You're going to leave with something that actually makes you smile every time you look at it.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Peace Gnome 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.
Yes — Peace Gnome 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.
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.
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 Peace Gnome 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.
