Plan Your Nite: Schedule

Gallery: View the Fun 

For most of you middle school may have been the last time you looked at a canvas while holding a painting brush. That time has come again. But this time around as a grown up. Boston's Paint Nite will bring out of you the forgotten artist. There is however a catch! It’s actually an awesome catch. You’ll be able to drink. Yesss! Isn’t that much more fun? Heck Yesss! Get social and Paint Under the Influence! We Love It!
Paint Nite, is Boston’s newest hottest activity—a must try! It’s a two hour event taking place at venues around town. A professional artist will be guiding you through each painting so that you can create your own masterpiece while you’re enjoying your favorite drink. You can either follow the step-by-step directions, or by all means go rogue and develop your own technique (some of us often do after the second drink).

How it works:

Start by dragging your lazy friends out. Then, go to PaintNite’s website. You can either browse by the date you and our friends prefer, or scroll through their numerous painting samples and pick the one that would most likely match your wall. Reserve your spots. Ranging in price is from $45-$65 per person. Paint Nite provides all painting supplies, including the canvas, easel, paints, brushes and an apron so you don't get dirty. Although we suggest that you do. It's more fun that way. Events last approximately two hours, at the end of which you get to take home your new masterpiece, a 16’’ by 20’’ canvas . Drinks and food to accompany the painting experience are purchased directly from the hosting restaurant or bar the night of the event.

History:

Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, it was founded in March 2012 by entrepreneurs Daniel Hermann and Sean McGrail and is now in more than 80 cities across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The core concept, PaintNite, offers consumers a creative twist on a night out at the bar where a local professional artist provides step-by-step guidance on how to create a painting. Every month, over 200 local artists host over 1,000 events at 650 venues and sell 35,000 tickets to unique live experiences. Paint Nite is about fostering a fun, low stress, non-judgmental environment that inspires everyone to enjoy the process of creating something from nothing. "It's an easy way to interact with other people," Hermann says. "You immediately have something to talk about, whether someone's painting is great or it's terrible. It lends itself to socialness."
