Hawk Fan Forever is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Kaytie paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Kaytie 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.

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Kaytie is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at The Forum, 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.

Yes — Hawk Fan Forever is one of our guys night picks. Don't let the art supplies fool you. Kaytie keeps the energy up, and you'll walk out with something worth hanging on the wall.

Kaytie is a real local artist based in Tacoma — 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.

The Forum is a local venue in Tacoma — 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 Tacoma this month. You can view them here.

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

Your ticket to Hawk Fan Forever 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 Kaytie. Drinks and food are ordered separately from The Forum — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

This event runs approximately 2 hours. Doors open at 2:00 PM — we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to get settled and order your first drink before Kaytie 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.
