Hi, I'm Coach Kristin and I am here to coach you on how to paint. I see PaintNight as a mental health night. Relax, grab a drink, let go of your troubles and let’s have some fun! I love to see how everyone’s painting is different and is an expression of their inner self. Everyone is an artist! So come, join me in playing with some paint, enjoy the journey and make memories one brush stroke at a time.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. On A Dark Desert Highway is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Kristin 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.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Kristin is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at The Hub Grill & Bar - on Sossaman Rd - Mesa, 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.
Kristin is a real local artist based in Mesa — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 5 out of 6 guests who've painted with Kristin say the instruction was amazing. Gail P. said: 'It's a very fun atmosphere and the host included some fun history/trivia information related to our painting. We had a great time!'
The Hub Grill & Bar - on Sossaman Rd - Mesa is a local venue in Mesa — 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.
Yes — we have 24 upcoming events in Mesa this month. You can view them here.
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 Mesa, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to On A Dark Desert Highway 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 Kristin. Drinks and food are ordered separately from The Hub Grill & Bar - on Sossaman Rd - Mesa — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
This event runs approximately 2 hours. Doors open at 2:00 PM — we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to get settled and order your first drink before Kristin starts the painting.
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.
