Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Peaceful Mornings is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Diana 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. Diana is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Paddle Stop Brewery, 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.
Diana is a real local artist based in New Haven — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 33 out of 35 guests who've painted with Diana say the instruction was amazing. Trishka S. said: 'If you're looking for a total mental reset, this is it! As someone who spends all day in Excel, swapping formulas for a paintbrush was exactly what my group and I needed. It was low-pressure, tons of...'
Paddle Stop Brewery is a local venue in New Haven — 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 New Haven, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Peaceful Mornings 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 Diana. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Paddle Stop Brewery — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
This event runs approximately 2 hours. Doors open at 2:30 PM — we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to get settled and order your first drink before Diana 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.
This event has reached our minimum attendance threshold and is guaranteed to run. If we ever have to cancel a guaranteed event, every ticket holder receives a full automatic refund plus a free ticket to a future Paint Nite — no questions asked. The only exception is weather or force majeure, where full refunds are issued but free tickets are not.
