Question 1

Is Starry Lake good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Starry Lake is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Zoë 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. Zoë is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at The Rec Room Brentwood , 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 Zoë like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Zoë is a real local artist based in  Burnaby — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 11 out of 13 guests who've painted with Zoë say the instruction was amazing. Kevin B. said: 'Zoë was an amazing teacher--so supportive and encouraging! I loved the atmosphere that she created where risk-taking was encouraged and creativity flourished. Thank you, Zoë!'

Question 4

What's The Rec Room Brentwood  like?

Accepted Answer

The Rec Room Brentwood  is a local venue in  Burnaby — 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  Burnaby?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 7 upcoming events in  Burnaby this month.

Question 6

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  Burnaby, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 7

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Starry Lake 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 Zoë. Drinks and food are ordered separately from The Rec Room Brentwood  — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 8

How long is Starry Lake?

Accepted Answer

The Rec Room Brentwood 's doors open at 1:00 PM, the event starts at 6:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 5:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Zoë starts the painting.

Question 9

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.
