How much does a Paint Nite cost in Hayward?

Most in-person Hayward events include your easel, canvas, paints, brushes, an apron and your artist for the night. Food and drinks are purchased separately at the venue. Virtual and on-demand classes are priced lower since they're location-independent. Check any event below for its exact price.

Where are Paint Nite events held in Hayward?

We host inside local bars and restaurants right across Hayward and the surrounding California area. See the venues and map below — nearly every spot is easy to reach by transit or has nearby parking.

Do I need to be good at painting?

Not even a little. The whole point is that anyone can do it. Your artist breaks the painting into simple, guided steps and walks the room the entire time. Most first-timers are genuinely surprised by what they take home.

Is Paint Nite a good date night in Hayward?

It's one of the most-booked date nights in the city. You get a drink, a relaxed room, something to actually do together, and a keepsake from the evening.

Can I book a private party or corporate event?

Yes. We run private Paint Nites for birthdays, bachelorettes, team socials and corporate events around Hayward — at a venue or at your office. You get the whole room, your own artist, and a custom painting option.

How do I book tickets?

Find an event by date, venue or artist on this page, hit "Grab a Seat," and check out online in under a minute. You'll get an email confirmation with the venue address and everything you need to bring (which is basically nothing).

Are there virtual and at-home options?

Yes. Live virtual Paint Nites are streamed by a real artist so you can paint from home with a kit, and on-demand classes let you paint anytime at your own pace. Both are location-independent — perfect for a quieter night in.

How is this different from Yaymaker?

Paint Nite is the original. Same energy, same local artists, same take-home canvas — now under PaintNite.com. If you painted with us under another name in the past, you're in the right place.

Do you host events outside Hayward?

Absolutely — we run events across United States. Scroll to "Nearby cities" to jump to your area.

What Hayward Guests Are Saying

It is really a lot of fun, the host Gabriel is entertaining and very helpful. Also, talking with others is part of the social fun as well. Everyone's paintings are unique to the individual and turn out pretty darn good. Thanks Gabe for another fun evening.

The event was very relaxed and no pressure in painting something perfect. And Melodie cared more about my enjoyement of the time together than anything else.

That you paint a large painting and not only did I learn a lot but I had fun doing it!!

Nice venue with friendly staff and Instructor. Aprons, brushes and canvas were provided. You can paint at a moderate pace and still finish. If you get stuck, instructor will come by and help. Good experience overall, would recommend!

The instructor was the best part of the entire experience! I’ll definitely be attending another one of his paint nights when I return to California. Not only did I leave with a beautiful painting, but the comedy show Bindu puts on is hands-down one of the best in the Bay Area—maybe even the entire West Coast! Such a fun and unforgettable experience!

It was my first time at Paint Nite. I so enjoyed the evening spent with my co-workers. My Snoopy didn't turn out as I had hoped, but my husband said wow you did a great job for your first time. My painting is hanging a wall in our home and once on the wall, Sweet Snoopy doesn't look at that bad. I will be doing more Paint Nite's in the future.

As a first timer the class was really fun and demonstrated to the Tee. I didn't think I was capable but after directions I turned out to be a Picasso. Thx Deejay

This is my third paint nite with Tina as the instructor and they are always an absolute blast! She is extremely talented and fun to boot. Tina is helpful and encouraging. I look forward to may more classes!
