How much does a Paint Nite cost in Riverside?

Most in-person Riverside 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 Riverside?

We host inside local bars and restaurants right across Riverside 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 Riverside?

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 Riverside — 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 Riverside?

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

What Riverside Guests Are Saying

Loved it! We had a group with various levels of artistic ability and we all had fun :) The initial affirmation was a great way to start ! The instructor was clear, talked slowly enough for us to all follow and we could pause when and if we had to. Would definitely recommend this event and this instructor

It is super fun and Amanda made is stress/pressure free. It would have been good to make it a little more clear that no food or beverage is included with the price of the event. It seemed a little vague in the description and some of my party thought some wine and/or food was going to be included. Thank you!

Michelle D.

This event was really fun. Great for anyone. No experience necessary. Christina was really fun and gave us great tips. No pressure at all! I highly recommend.
