Question 1

Is I Am Not A Snowball good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes — I Am Not A Snowball is one of our most approachable paintings. Absolute first-timers finish this one looking great. Kara 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.

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. Kara is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Ravens Ring Brewing Company, 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 Kara like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Kara is a real local artist based in Anchorage — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Anchorage, 7 out of 11 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing. Choco G. said: 'She is GREAT! I have a wonderdull time'

Question 4

What's Ravens Ring Brewing Company like?

Accepted Answer

Ravens Ring Brewing Company is a local venue in Anchorage — 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

Are there more Paint Nite events in Anchorage?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 71 upcoming events in Anchorage this month.

Question 6

Is I Am Not A Snowball a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

I Am Not A Snowball is a winter painting — cozy seasonal vibes for a great night out.

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

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to I Am Not A Snowball 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 Kara. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Ravens Ring Brewing Company — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is I Am Not A Snowball?

Accepted Answer

Ravens Ring Brewing Company's event starts at 6:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 5:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Kara 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.
