I've been hearing about Paint Nite for about a year now, so I was excited to finally attend. This is a fun activity to do with friends and family. Here's what I liked:
1. Everything was well organized, down to the apron, the paints, and all is setup for you in advance.
2. The host has a PA system, so everyone can hear well.
3. The host was very positive, encouraging everyone to be creative and have fun.
4. The painting was broken down into methodical steps so everyone succeeded.
5. It's a great way to meet new people and to socialize with your friends.
6. It's FUN!
There are different instructors and venues. I went to Getaway Cafe and the staff there was very welcoming and the food was good. Our instructor had a degree in Art, and she took the time to explain how to complete the painting in easy steps.
Nobody at Paint Nite paid full price, they all got their tickets through Groupon. Not sure how long Groupon will sell the half price tickets, but if you use the code PITTSBURGH you can bypass the Groupon website.
