Paint "Northern Night Lights" at 300 Club Lounge inside Yosemite Lanes in Modesto and spend the evening creating your own version of Alaska's glowing northern sky. With snowy mountains, a quiet lake, and ribbons of color stretching across the night, this beginner-friendly Paint Nite is a relaxing project that's easier than it looks. I'll guide the painting step by step, so no experience is necessary. Follow the sample or change the colors to create your own interpretation of the aurora. All painting supplies are included, and kids are welcome. If you're looking for a creative night out, a unique date night, or a paint and sip experience in Modesto, this is a great excuse to unplug for a couple of hours and make something with your own hands. Private Paint Nites are available for birthdays, office gatherings, fundraisers, and other celebrations for groups of 10 or more. Bring three friends and receive 15% off your tickets. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the event.

Meet Ilya, the creative genius behind Patterson's paint and sip events! A graduate of San Francisco's Academy of Art and represented by Ryan Graff Contemporary Gallery, Ilya infuses each event with his unique artistic vision. Join him for an unforgettable night of artistic expression and experience the thrill of creativity like never before!
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Northern Night Lights is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Ilya 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. Ilya is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at 300 Club Lounge (Yosemite Lanes), 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.
Ilya is a real local artist based in MODESTO — 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. Natalie P. said: 'I had 3 friends buy tickets and I never got a refund for my ticket. Never even got a response from the paintnite people when I asked about it. Paint night was fun but that was a little upsetting.'
300 Club Lounge (Yosemite Lanes) is a local venue in MODESTO — 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 13 upcoming events in MODESTO this month. You can view them here.
Northern Night Lights 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 MODESTO, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Northern Night Lights 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 Ilya. Drinks and food are ordered separately from 300 Club Lounge (Yosemite Lanes) — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
300 Club Lounge (Yosemite Lanes)'s doors open at 2:00 PM, the event starts at 2:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 1:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Ilya 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.
