Galaxy Forest

Yes. Galaxy Forest is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Melanie 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. Melanie is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Sports On Tap, 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.

Melanie is a real local artist based in Saskatoon — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 27 out of 38 guests who've painted with Melanie say the instruction was amazing. Bill L. said: 'A relaxed and supportive atmosphere is fostered. You can try to make an exact copy of the sample or produce a unique piece of art that is your personal variation on the theme of the evening. Come...'

Sports On Tap is a local venue in Saskatoon — 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 47 upcoming events in Saskatoon 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 Saskatoon, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to Galaxy Forest 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 Melanie. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Sports On Tap — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Sports On Tap's 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 Melanie 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.
