Yes. Endless Summer II is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Tad 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. Tad is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Warm Belly Farm and Garden Center, 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.

Tad is a real local artist based in Cottage Grove — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 5 out of 5 guests who've painted with Tad say the instruction was amazing. Ashly C. said: 'Tad is always such a wonderful instructor. We had a lot of fun and made some great memories.'

Warm Belly Farm and Garden Center is a local venue in Cottage Grove — 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 7 upcoming events in Cottage Grove this month. You can view them here.

Endless Summer II is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.

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 Cottage Grove , you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to Endless Summer II 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 Tad. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Warm Belly Farm and Garden Center — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Warm Belly Farm and Garden Center's 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 Tad 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.
