What the award means

About the Best of Queensland Experience Program

The Best of Queensland Experience program is run by Tourism and Events Queensland in partnership with the state's regional tourism organisations. It spotlights operators who consistently deliver outstanding visitor experiences. The assessment blends what guests say about you on independent review platforms with how strong your digital presence is, whether you meet industry standards and how well you engage with your destination.

In short: it measures the experience from the moment someone discovers you to the moment they say "see you next time." To earn it once is a good year. To earn it five years in a row means the quality is not a fluke - it is built into how the business actually operates.

For Paint Juicy, it is validation of what our team has always prioritised: the atmosphere in the room, the quality of the hosting, the singalong energy and the feeling every guest takes home alongside their canvas. Browse our upcoming Queensland events to experience it yourself.

The Best of Queensland Experience recognition is one piece of a bigger picture. Paint Juicy is a homegrown Queensland business and a proud member of the Queensland Tourism Industry Council, the state's peak tourism body.

What Our Nights Actually Look Like

How we keep earning it

What Consistent Recognition Actually Means in Practice

🎤

Human Hosts, Not Head Office

James and Trenton are still hands-on with every aspect of the business. The people answering your messages are the same people who run the shows.

🎨

The Paint Juicy Method

Artworks built with simple shapes and clean layers so you can paint, sip and sing without panic. Every beginner succeeds. Experienced painters can still go their own way.

🎵

Artists With Stage Craft

Our team blends paint-world educators with performers from music and entertainment. They can teach clearly, read a room and keep a crowd going for three hours.

🌟

Inclusive by Design

Most public sessions welcome guests 12 and over. Private events are shaped around your group, your occasion and your playlist era.

📍

Consistent Across Locations

Whether we are in Brisbane, Cairns, the Gold Coast or a regional pub, the format, the standard and the energy are the same. The venue changes. The experience does not.

🏆

Recognised Every Year Since 2022

2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Five years, five awards. Not a fluke and not luck. Built into how the business operates every single session.

Come and See What the Award Is Actually About
