Question 1

Is Van Gogh's Cat good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Van Gogh's Cat is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Nicole 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. Nicole is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at The Canadian Brewhouse - Sherwood Park, 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

Is this good for a girls night or bachelorette party in Sherwood Park?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Van Gogh's Cat is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Sherwood Park. Everyone paints their own canvas, so there's always something to laugh about at the end. If you're planning a bachelorette party or a larger group, private events of 10+ get reserved seating and a custom experience.

Question 4

What's Nicole like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Nicole is a real local artist based in Sherwood Park — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 7 out of 9 guests who've painted with Nicole say the instruction was amazing. Diane H. said: 'Fantastic!very personable,knowledgable, helpful'

Question 5

What's The Canadian Brewhouse - Sherwood Park like?

Accepted Answer

The Canadian Brewhouse - Sherwood Park is a local venue in Sherwood Park — 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 6

Are there more Paint Nite events in Sherwood Park?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 23 upcoming events in Sherwood Park this month.

Question 7

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 Sherwood Park, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Van Gogh's Cat 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 Nicole. Drinks and food are ordered separately from The Canadian Brewhouse - Sherwood Park — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Van Gogh's Cat?

Accepted Answer

The Canadian Brewhouse - Sherwood Park's doors open at 11:30 AM, the event starts at 6:30 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:00 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Nicole starts the painting.

Question 10

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.
