Question 1

Is Sunset in the City III good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Sunset in the City III is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Erin paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Erin will help you turn any mistake into something intentional. 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. Erin is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Cherry Street Pier, 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 Erin like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Erin is a real local artist based in Philadelphia — 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.

Question 4

What's Cherry Street Pier like?

Accepted Answer

Cherry Street Pier is a local venue in Philadelphia — 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

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

Question 6

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Sunset in the City III 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 Erin. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Cherry Street Pier — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 7

How long is Sunset in the City III?

Accepted Answer

Cherry Street Pier's event starts at 7:30 PM. We suggest showing up by 7:00 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Erin starts the painting.

Question 8

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.

Question 9

What does "Guaranteed to Run" mean?

Accepted Answer

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.
