Question 1

Is Big Willies 10.26.26 - Me good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Big Willies 10.26.26 - Me is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Grace 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. Grace is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Big Willies, 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 Grace like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Grace is a real local artist based in Salt Lake City  — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 31 out of 44 guests who've painted with Grace say the instruction was amazing. Christopher D. said: 'The best Paint Nite ever. Grace, the Master Painter, was fabulous. As talented as she is an artist she is even more talented as a teacher. She brought out the best in people. My highest...'

Question 4

What's Big Willies like?

Accepted Answer

Big Willies is a local venue in Salt Lake City  — 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 Salt Lake City ?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 15 upcoming events in Salt Lake City  this month.

Question 6

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

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 Salt Lake City , you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to Big Willies 10.26.26 - Me 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 Grace. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Big Willies — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 8

How long is Big Willies 10.26.26 - Me?
