Question 1

Is Bright Lights, Big Mountains  good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Bright Lights, Big Mountains  is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Chrissy paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Chrissy 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. Chrissy is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Best Western Premier at Fisher's Landing , 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 Chrissy like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Chrissy is a real local artist based in VANCOUVER — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 6 out of 11 guests who've painted with Chrissy say the instruction was amazing. Gail T. said: 'It is so much fun and very therapeutic. My friends and I are not artistic at all, but we found ourselves wanting to keep painting. Our instructor Chrissy, was great! It’s a great time.'

Question 4

What's Best Western Premier at Fisher's Landing  like?

Accepted Answer

Best Western Premier at Fisher's Landing  is a local venue in VANCOUVER — 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

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 56 upcoming events in VANCOUVER this month.

Question 6

Is Bright Lights, Big Mountains  a seasonal painting?

Question 7

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

More than 10 million tickets have been sold across both brands combined. If you used to attend Yaymaker events in VANCOUVER, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Drinks and food are ordered separately from Best Western Premier at Fisher's Landing  — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

Accepted Answer
