Question 1

Is Thankful Sunflowers good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Thankful Sunflowers is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Melody 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. Melody is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Virtual Venue, 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 Melody like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Melody is a real local artist based in Virtual — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 5 out of 13 guests who've painted with Melody say the instruction was amazing. Delphine P. said: 'The event was very relaxed and no pressure in painting something perfect. And Melodie cared more about my enjoyement of the time together than anything else.'

Question 4

What's Virtual Venue like?

Accepted Answer

Virtual Venue is a local venue in Virtual — 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 Virtual?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 110 upcoming events in Virtual this month.

Question 6

Is Thankful Sunflowers a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Thankful Sunflowers is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.

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

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Thankful Sunflowers 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 Melody. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Virtual Venue — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Thankful Sunflowers?

Accepted Answer

Virtual Venue's event starts at 5:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 4:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Melody 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.
