Question 1

Is 11/16/17 Private Fundraiser for the Scugog Shores Museums good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 11/16/17 Private Fundraiser for the Scugog Shores Museums is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Liesl 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. Liesl is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Scugog Shores Heritage Centre & Archives, 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 Liesl like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Liesl is a real local artist based in Port Perry — 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.

Question 4

What's Scugog Shores Heritage Centre & Archives like?

Accepted Answer

Scugog Shores Heritage Centre & Archives is a local venue in Port Perry — 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

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 Port Perry, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 6

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to 11/16/17 Private Fundraiser for the Scugog Shores Museums 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 Liesl. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Scugog Shores Heritage Centre & Archives — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 7

How long is 11/16/17 Private Fundraiser for the Scugog Shores Museums?

Accepted Answer

Scugog Shores Heritage Centre & Archives's event starts at 7:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Liesl starts the painting.
