Question 1

Is Summer Northern Lights and Waterfall good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Summer Northern Lights and Waterfall is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. ArtLab paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and ArtLab will help you turn any mistake into something intentional. 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. ArtLab is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Microbrasserie Folklore, 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 ArtLab like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

ArtLab is a real local artist based in Pointe-Claire — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 6 out of 7 guests who've painted with ArtLab say the instruction was amazing. Heather B. said: 'The teacher was amazing. Great atmosphere. Beautiful project. I learned some new techniques!'

Question 4

What's Microbrasserie Folklore like?

Accepted Answer

Microbrasserie Folklore is a local venue in Pointe-Claire — 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 Pointe-Claire?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 21 upcoming events in Pointe-Claire this month.

Question 6

Is Summer Northern Lights and Waterfall a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Summer Northern Lights and Waterfall 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 Pointe-Claire, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Summer Northern Lights and Waterfall 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 ArtLab. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Microbrasserie Folklore — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Summer Northern Lights and Waterfall?

Accepted Answer

Microbrasserie Folklore's doors open at 3:00 PM, the event starts at 7:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before ArtLab 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.
