Question 1

Is Our Big Christmas Tree  good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our Big Christmas Tree  is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Devan 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. Devan is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Great River Brewery, 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 Devan like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Devan is a real local artist based in Davenport — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 22 out of 32 guests who've painted with Devan say the instruction was amazing. Gail L. said: 'Don't worry if you're not good at art. Your Paint Nite instructor will give you step by step guidance to create your own masterpiece. You will be delighted with what appears before you as you have...'

Question 4

What's Great River Brewery like?

Accepted Answer

Great River Brewery is a local venue in Davenport — 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 Davenport?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 5 upcoming events in Davenport this month.

Question 6

Is Our Big Christmas Tree  a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Our Big Christmas Tree  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 Davenport, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Our Big Christmas Tree  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 Devan. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Great River Brewery — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Our Big Christmas Tree ?

Accepted Answer

Great River Brewery's event starts at 6:30 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:00 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Devan 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.
