Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Virtual Wizard of Oz Con is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Ryan 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: Music & Comedy events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.
Ryan is a real local artist based in Virtual — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Virtual, 5 out of 15 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing.
Virtual Venue is a local venue in Virtual — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Music & Comedy 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 12 upcoming events in Virtual this month. You can view them here.
Your ticket to Virtual Wizard of Oz Con 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 Ryan . Drinks and food are ordered separately from Virtual Venue — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Virtual Venue'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 Ryan starts the painting.
You can reschedule your ticket to any other Music & Comedy event up to 8 hours before this one starts. Rescheduling more than 48 hours in advance is free; within 48 hours of the start time there's a $10 fee per ticket. You can't reschedule within 8 hours of the start time, but if an emergency comes up, reach out to our customer service team and we'll do our best to help. Event tickets are not refundable, but your reschedule codes never expire, so you can redeem them whenever it suits you. If Music & Comedy cancels this event, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
