Dakota is a dark fantasy artist who champions creative freedom without boundaries. His specialty? Getting people to color outside the lines and think beyond conventions. With his guiding question—"What would make this feel more like me?"—Dakota helps others transform their artistic journeys into authentic self-expression.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Ghost in the Mirror is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Dakota 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. Dakota is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Strey Cellars, 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.
Yes — Ghost in the Mirror is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Oxnard. Everyone paints their own canvas, so there's always something to laugh about at the end. If you're planning a bachelorette party or a larger group, private events of 10+ get reserved seating and a custom experience.
Dakota is a real local artist based in Oxnard — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire.
Strey Cellars is a local venue in Oxnard — 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.
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 Oxnard, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Ghost in the Mirror 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 Dakota. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Strey Cellars — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Strey Cellars's doors open at 2:00 PM, the event starts at 5:30 PM. We suggest showing up by 5:00 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Dakota 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.
