Joshua is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Aloft Lexington, 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.

Fall Thanksgiving Turkey is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.

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

Your ticket to Fall Thanksgiving Turkey 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 Joshua. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Aloft Lexington — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Aloft Lexington'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 Joshua 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.
