Question 1

Is Summer Sunset Island good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Summer Sunset Island is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Thom 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. Thom is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Tap & Table , 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 this a good date night in TIGARD?

Accepted Answer

Summer Sunset Island is one of our most popular date night paintings in TIGARD. You each paint your own canvas — same painting, different results — which always makes for a fun comparison at the end of the night. The mood of the painting is romantic — expect something beautiful to bring home.

Question 4

What's Thom like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Thom is a real local artist based in TIGARD — 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. Betsy C. said: 'So much fun - everyone needs to do it!'

Question 5

What's Tap & Table  like?

Accepted Answer

Tap & Table  is a local venue in TIGARD — 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 TIGARD?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 3 upcoming events in TIGARD this month.

Question 7

Is Summer Sunset Island a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Summer Sunset Island is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.

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

Question 9

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Summer Sunset Island 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 Thom. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Tap & Table  — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 10

How long is Summer Sunset Island?

Accepted Answer

Tap & Table 's doors open at 12:00 PM, the event starts at 3:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 2:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Thom 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.
