A New Year in the City

Yes. A New Year in the City is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Tina 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. Tina is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Ace and vine , 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.

A New Year in the City is one of our most popular date night paintings in NAPA. You each paint your own canvas — same painting, different results — which always makes for a fun comparison at the end of the night.

Tina is a real local artist based in NAPA — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In NAPA, 5 out of 7 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing. Toni G. said: '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...'

Ace and vine is a local venue in NAPA — 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 21 upcoming events in NAPA this month. You can view them here.

A New Year in the City 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 NAPA, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to A New Year in the City 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 Tina. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Ace and vine — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Ace and vine '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 Tina 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.
