Question 1

Is Merry Mouse Visitor good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Merry Mouse Visitor is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Lorena breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.

Question 2

How is Paint Nite different from a painting class?

Accepted Answer

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Lorena is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at The Canadian Brewhouse - Mahogany, a real local spot, not a studio. Paint Nite invented this format in 2012 and has sold more than 10 million tickets. The trade-off is honest: lighting varies, it can get loud, and the person at the next easel is a stranger. That's the point. It's more of a night out than a class.

Question 3

What's Lorena like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Lorena is a real local artist based in Calgary — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 13 out of 19 guests who've painted with Lorena say the instruction was amazing. Carol L. said: 'The venue has its own section so no interaction with regular bar customers. Parking is available throughout the plaza. Easy to get to. Artist is very nice and helps when you struggle.'

Question 4

What's The Canadian Brewhouse - Mahogany like?

Accepted Answer

The Canadian Brewhouse - Mahogany is a local venue in Calgary — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Paint Nite events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.

Question 5

Are there more Paint Nite events in Calgary?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 117 upcoming events in Calgary this month.

Question 6

Is Merry Mouse Visitor a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Merry Mouse Visitor is a winter painting — cozy seasonal vibes for a great night out.

Question 7

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

Accepted Answer

Yaymaker is Paint Nite. We brought both brands together under the Paint Nite name — same artists, same events, same format we invented in 2012. More than 10 million tickets have been sold across both brands combined. If you used to attend Yaymaker events in Calgary, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Merry Mouse Visitor includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Lorena. Drinks and food are ordered separately from The Canadian Brewhouse - Mahogany — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Merry Mouse Visitor?

Accepted Answer

The Canadian Brewhouse - Mahogany's doors open at 11:30 AM, the event starts at 2:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 1:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Lorena starts the painting.

Question 10

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 24 hours before this one starts. After that, tickets are locked — no refunds or changes. If Paint Nite cancels this event for any reason, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
