Mario is a forever artist from the days of masterpieces on the fridge. He currently works as a child educator in an elementary school. His passion for art is expressed through his paintings and art shows, and he loves to pass that creative energy and know how on to others. When not teaching or painting he can be found in nature getting inspired, taking photos, hiking, riding and exploring this beautiful place called Vancouver Island. The goal of this artist is spread the joy of creativity, make life a little brighter and the world a little more colourful. Wishing you a great time and many thanks for taking the leap into art, and the courage to try.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Teal Bonsai Among the Misty Pines is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Kim paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Kim will help you turn any mistake into something intentional. 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. Kim is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at The Royal Canadian Legion 171 Lounge, 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.
Kim is a real local artist based in Ladysmith — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. Paint Nite artists complete our certification program before their first event. Across all Paint Nite events, 93% of guests say their instructor was amazing.
The Royal Canadian Legion 171 Lounge is a local venue in Ladysmith — 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.
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 Ladysmith, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Teal Bonsai Among the Misty Pines 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 Kim. Drinks and food are ordered separately from The Royal Canadian Legion 171 Lounge — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
The Royal Canadian Legion 171 Lounge'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 Kim 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.
This event has reached our minimum attendance threshold and is guaranteed to run. If we ever have to cancel a guaranteed event, every ticket holder receives a full automatic refund plus a free ticket to a future Paint Nite — no questions asked. The only exception is weather or force majeure, where full refunds are issued but free tickets are not.
