Trash Panda Fall Fun

Trash Panda Fall Fun is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. Michelle paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and Michelle 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. Michelle is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Virtual Venue - Pacific, 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.

Michelle is a real local artist based in Sacramento — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 14 out of 17 guests who've painted with Michelle say the instruction was amazing. Mary L. said: 'Great instructions and an easy pace to follow along. Would highly recommend for somebody that wants to do a painting together.'

Virtual Venue - Pacific is a local venue in Sacramento — 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 54 upcoming events in Sacramento this month. You can view them here.

Trash Panda Fall Fun is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.

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

Your ticket to Trash Panda Fall Fun 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 Michelle. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Virtual Venue - Pacific — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Virtual Venue - Pacific'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 Michelle 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.
