It's that time of year again to celebrate mushy gushy sweet nothings, pink hearts, love ballads and red roses!
JOIN US for our for cocktails, great music and a partner painting event!
WHAT IS A PARTNER PAINTING Our Paint Nite Master Artist will walk you and your date step-by-step through the steps to paint a painting on your individual canvas. At the end, both you and your date will have created two paintings that can be put together to make ONE masterpiece (just like your love)! *If painting with a Partner you must have 2 tickets!
CAN YOU PAINT WITHOUT A PARNTER? Yes, many attend and paint the picture on one full canvas. This day is celebrated with someone special or a treat for yourself!
No experience required! Just follow along while our Social Painting Instructor guides you step-by-step through the featured painting in about two hours. If you’re feeling creative, change the colors to suit your décor or go completely rogue. We provide all the painting supplies: a 16”x20” canvas, acrylic paint, brushes, smock, music, and a good time. Come out early to enjoy dinner before we get started, just let them know you’re with Paint Nite. Secure your seats 15 minutes before start time, especially if part of a large group. Food and drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in the ticket price. Outside food and drink are not allowed - NO BYOB. Events are for adults, 19+ only

She has worked with many different materials but her favours are pencil, acrylics, and oils. Her imagination is present, and let loose in her art and its variety. Rebecca has recently graduated from the St. Lawrence College Visual and Creative Fine Arts program and is excited to see where the art world takes her.
