Question 1

Is Winter Welcome Snowman good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Winter Welcome Snowman is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Darcy 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.

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. Darcy is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at El Tapatio - Auburn, 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 Darcy like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Darcy is a real local artist based in Auburn — 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. Lynette Y. said: 'Sign up now! You won’t regret it. No skills needed. Great instructor. Lots of fun!'

Question 4

What's El Tapatio - Auburn like?

Accepted Answer

El Tapatio - Auburn is a local venue in Auburn — 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 Auburn?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 7 upcoming events in Auburn this month.

Question 6

Is Winter Welcome Snowman a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

Winter Welcome Snowman 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 Auburn, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to Winter Welcome Snowman 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 Darcy. Drinks and food are ordered separately from El Tapatio - Auburn — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is Winter Welcome Snowman?

Accepted Answer

El Tapatio - Auburn's doors open at 11:00 AM, the event starts at 3:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 2:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Darcy 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.
