Yes. Paint Your Pet: Pop Art! is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Maryea 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. Maryea is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Ice Box Brewing Company, 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.

Maryea is a real local artist based in Las Cruces — 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. Wendy G. said: 'The artist was very attentive and helpful. Great with children. We'll definitely be back.'

Ice Box Brewing Company is a local venue in Las Cruces — 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 Las Cruces, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to Paint Your Pet: Pop Art! 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 Maryea. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Ice Box Brewing Company — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Ice Box Brewing Company's event starts at 7:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Maryea 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.
