Question 1

Is Bears in the Forest good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bears in the Forest is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Suzy 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. Suzy is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Logan's Roadhouse Chico, 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

Is Bears in the Forest family-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Bears in the Forest is one of our family-friendly paintings. All ages are welcome at this event. We recommend ages 5 and up for independent painting, though younger kids can share a canvas with an adult.

Question 4

What's Suzy like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Suzy is a real local artist based in Chico — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. Paint Nite artists complete our certification program before their first event. Across all Paint Nite events, 93% of guests say their instructor was amazing. Debbie L. said: 'It’s fun ! The instructor was very good with all of us and we found a new event to enjoy.'

Question 5

What's Logan's Roadhouse Chico like?

Accepted Answer

Logan's Roadhouse Chico is a local venue in Chico — 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 6

Are there more Paint Nite events in Chico?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 60 upcoming events in Chico this month.

Question 7

Is Bears in the Forest a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Bears in the Forest is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.

Question 8

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

Question 9

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Bears in the Forest 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 Suzy. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Logan's Roadhouse Chico — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 10

How long is Bears in the Forest?

Accepted Answer

Logan's Roadhouse Chico's doors open at 11:00 AM, the event starts at 1:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 12:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Suzy starts the painting.

Question 11

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.
