Yes. Moonlit Forest Milky Way is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Maci 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.

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Maci is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at The Hub Grill and Bar - Ahwatukee, 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.

Maci is a real local artist based in Phoenix — 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. Stacey G. said: 'Maci did an excellent job walking us thru the painting with humor and simple instructions. It was a fun night!'

The Hub Grill and Bar - Ahwatukee is a local venue in Phoenix — 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 24 upcoming events in Phoenix this month. You can view them here.

Moonlit Forest Milky Way is a winter painting — cozy seasonal vibes for a great night out.

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

Your ticket to Moonlit Forest Milky Way 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 Maci. Drinks and food are ordered separately from The Hub Grill and Bar - Ahwatukee — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

The Hub Grill and Bar - Ahwatukee's doors open at 11:00 AM, the event starts at 1:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 12:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Maci 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.
