5 boozy paint nights in Calgary perfect for the whole group
Yeah, you could have a “paint night” at home, but then you’d have to clean up after yourself. Don’t underestimate the scrubbing power required to get acrylic paint out of a couch cushion! Take it from us, it’s worth the cab fare and the price tag. You could spend an hour and $45 on a canvas from Michaels or you could spend an hour and as little as $27 to at one of these 5 Calgary paint nights!
VIN GOGH
Vin Gogh is more than just a clever name. This Sip studio was actually Calgary’s first professional wine and paint brick and mortar. They provide you with everything you need to get creative, including the liquor. Each session includes supplies, artistic direction, step-by-step instructions, your first beverage and praise upon completion. Wine and validation? Count us in.

Where: 7160 Fisher Street SE, Calgary
Time: 6 pm – 9 pm
Cost: $45
PAINT NITE
These guys are pretty popular amongst the wine and paint community because they’re ultra-convinent. Unlike Vin Gogh, they actually hold their events at different locations in familiar bars, which means the chances of one checking into a pub near you is likely. Nothing wrong with saving a couple bucks on Uber!

RUSTIC SIGN PAINT NIGHTS
Sunsets not your style? Grab a stencil, a bag, and board or wooden block! Each ticket to one of their “rustic sign nights” includes supplies and an instructor.
