Hi, we’re Yaymaker.

We’re the team that brought you the Original Paint Nite back in 2012, then Plant Nite and the Innovation Lab—and now we’re at it again. We realized that with so many creative ideas we needed a name that was big enough for all of them.

So now, we’re Yaymaker.

Put a little yay in your day

At Yaymaker, we’re all about the good times. Those times when you feel alive, ignited, and connected. Little yays that put a smile on your face, and big yays that juice you full of energy and get you ready to take on the world. Life is all about embracing these yays, and we’re all about making them—as often as humanly possible.

The spirit of Yaymaker was born with the first event we ever held in the basement of a Boston bar in 2012. At that event, we realized something really special happens when people drop their guard, gather up their moxie, and try their hand at something new. Since that night, we’ve partnered with thousands of like-minded entrepreneurs and artists, and together we’ve hosted more 300,000 events in more than 4,000 cities across North America. (We think we might be onto something.)

Now, Yaymaker is here to give you more ways to find your yay.

Every one of our events offers something new—a new restaurant to visit, a new group of people to hang with, and always a chance to make a new creation. If you haven’t yet, check out our latest additions: make a personalized wood sign at Design a Sign, a beautiful fresh flower bouquet at the Flower Workshop, or one-of-a-kind scented candles at Candle Maker.

Let’s make some yay

The people and places that made Paint Nite special aren’t going anywhere. Your favorite hosts, partners, paintings, and local hot spots are still here. With more joining our family every week, we’re adding another leaf to our banquet table and inviting everyone in for a big family feast.

Our partners and hosts live to bring fun, creative ideas to life so you’ll see new locations, limited-time specials, and seasonal events pop up on the calendar every week. We’re adding more all the time and Yaymaker.com is where you’ll be able to find them. Grab your friends and get ready to paint, plant, tinker, and build. Come make some yay and give your week something to shout about.
