Paint Nite is a social painting event where participants gather
at a venue, usually a bar or restaurant, to create their own
artwork while enjoying drinks and snacks.
One of our great artists will take you step-by-step through the
painting process, allowing everyone to get their creative juices
flowing, release their inner Van Gogh and have a fun night out,
even if it’s your first time!
Our painting parties are perfect for a date night, birthday,
girls’ night or any excuse you need to have a great time!
Paint parties are regularly hosted throughout the city,
including venues like
Levittown Lanes Bar & Grill,
TGI Fridays Levittown
and Momo's Sports Bar and Grill (Holbrook
and
Bayport). So you can enjoy painting with friends, dinner and drinks.

Our classes are held at bars and restaurants—not a
studio—typically with their own refreshments. Therefore, outside
food and drink are generally a no-go.
We encourage guests to support the location and purchase a drink
or two.

better when you enjoy them with friends and family, so invite a
group over to hang out or meet them online.
