Path to the Old Red Barn is one of our more detailed paintings, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to finish. BRENDA paces it carefully so nobody gets left behind — and BRENDA will help you turn any mistake into something intentional. 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. BRENDA is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Perch and Plow, 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.

BRENDA is a real local artist based in SANTA ROSA — 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. Jenny L. said: 'So much fun! Great event to do with friends.'

Perch and Plow is a local venue in SANTA ROSA — 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 17 upcoming events in SANTA ROSA this month. You can view them here.

Path to the Old Red Barn is a spring painting — a fresh seasonal pick that captures the energy of the season.

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 SANTA ROSA, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to Path to the Old Red Barn 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 BRENDA. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Perch and Plow — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Perch and Plow's doors open at 5:00 PM, the 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 BRENDA 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.
