Question 1

Is A Fall Visitor good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A Fall Visitor is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Brian 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.

Question 2

How is Paint Nite different from a painting class?

Accepted Answer

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Brian is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Marco Polo Global Restaurant, 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.

Question 3

What's Brian like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Brian is a real local artist based in Salem — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Salem, 5 out of 5 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing. Linda W. said: 'It was great fun. I’d never done a class like this before. The instructor was friendly and encouraged and spent time individually if needed. Looking forward to doing another one'

Question 4

What's Marco Polo Global Restaurant like?

Accepted Answer

Marco Polo Global Restaurant is a local venue in Salem — 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.

Question 5

Are there more Paint Nite events in Salem?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 16 upcoming events in Salem this month.

Question 6

Is A Fall Visitor a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

A Fall Visitor is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.

Question 7

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

Accepted Answer

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 Salem, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to A Fall Visitor 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 Brian. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Marco Polo Global Restaurant — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is A Fall Visitor?

Accepted Answer

Marco Polo Global Restaurant's doors open at 11:00 AM, 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 Brian starts the painting.

Question 10

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

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.
