L.O.V.E. Partner Painting

Yes — L.O.V.E. Partner Painting is one of our most approachable paintings. Absolute first-timers finish this one looking great. Ashley walks you through every step, and the whole group moves together so nobody falls behind. 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. Ashley is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot: The Winter Garden, 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.

L.O.V.E. Partner Painting is one of our most popular date night paintings in Minneapolis. You each paint your own canvas — same painting, different results — which always makes for a fun comparison at the end of the night.

Ashley is a real local artist based in Minneapolis — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 14 out of 14 guests who've painted with Ashley say the instruction was amazing. Karen D. said: 'Ashley is the best painting instructor I’ve had—if you pay attention, you can create a painting you’ll be amazed by!'

Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot: The Winter Garden is a local venue in Minneapolis — 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.

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

Your ticket to L.O.V.E. Partner Painting 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 Ashley. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot: The Winter Garden — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot: The Winter Garden's event starts at 2:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 1:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Ashley starts the painting.
