I'm your hostess for this event! I have over 12 years of experience with paint nite events. I can lead you through paintings, design-a-sign, candlemaker, plant nite, ukulele, ceramics, and any other craft or hobby that helps you relax and enjoy the atmosphere. We allow you to choose your own colors, improvise, take-away, or just sit back and play around with no judgement. We also have a great sense of humor, so if you need a laugh we are here for you. I look forward to seeing you!
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Summer Dock Dream is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Donna 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. Donna is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Eavesdrop 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.
Donna is a real local artist based in Manassas — 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. Narissa M. said: 'Donna is a great teacher / facilitator - she makes the session fun and exciting.'
Eavesdrop Brewery is a local venue in Manassas — 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.
Yes — we have 3 upcoming events in Manassas this month. You can view them here.
Summer Dock Dream is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.
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 Manassas, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Summer Dock Dream 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 Donna. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Eavesdrop Brewery — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
This event runs approximately 2 hours. Doors open at 2:30 PM — we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to get settled and order your first drink before Donna 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.
