Grab someone you actually want to spend a Friday night with, because this one is built for two. Starry Lake is a partner painting — you and your person each work on your own canvas, and when you bring them together, the full scene comes alive: a still lake glowing under a sky full of stars, warm sunset colours bleeding into deep blues, trees framing the edges, everything reflected in the water below. It sounds intricate, and it is beautiful, but I've got you — we build it up together, step by step, and I've done this enough times to know exactly where people get stuck and how to make it easy. JoseSanDance is a genuinely cool room to spend an evening in, warm and lively in a way that makes the whole night feel a little special. I've been running these events for a while now and the partner paintings always end up being my favourite nights — there's something that happens when two people hold their canvases up side by side for the first time.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Starry Lake Partner Painting 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.
Starry Lake Partner Painting is one of our most popular date night paintings in Ottawa. You each paint your own canvas — same painting, different results — which always makes for a fun comparison at the end of the night.
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 Starry Lake Partner Painting 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.
