Yes. Starry Desert Night is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Super 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. Super is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at San Jose Municipal Golf Course, 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.

Super is a real local artist based in SAN JOSE — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 8 out of 12 guests who've painted with Super say the instruction was amazing. Marlene M. said: 'It is really a lot of fun, the host Gabriel is entertaining and very helpful. Also, talking with others is part of the social fun as well. Everyone's paintings are unique to the individual and turn...'

San Jose Municipal Golf Course is a local venue in SAN JOSE — 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.

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 SAN JOSE, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to Starry Desert Night 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 Super. Drinks and food are ordered separately from San Jose Municipal Golf Course — 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 Super 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.

This event has reached our minimum attendance threshold and is guaranteed to run. If we ever have to cancel a guaranteed event, every ticket holder receives a full automatic refund plus a free ticket to a future Paint Nite — no questions asked. The only exception is weather or force majeure, where full refunds are issued but free tickets are not.
