Frequently Asked Questions

Get ready for a fun and creative experience! Here’s what you can expect when you join us for a paint night.

What to Expect

  • Our paint-and-sip events are curated to inspire and connect guests through a guided painting experience led by a professional instructor. Guests recreate a painting during a two-hour workshop. Our events are perfect for beginners and seasoned artists alike!

  • Not at all! Our events are designed for everyone, whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or you’re an experienced artist. Our instructors provide step-by-step guidance along with creative prompts to help you create a masterpiece that’s unique to you.

  • We provide all the necessary painting supplies, including canvases, brushes, paints, and aprons. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to learn!

  • Wear something comfortable that you don’t mind getting a little paint on. We provide aprons, but accidents can happen!

  • Our paint-and-sip events usually last around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the painting and group size.

  • We don’t have an age restriction for our events; however, due to the guided structure and pace, our events are recommended for guests aged 10 and up. One participating adult is required for every three guests under the age of 14. Each participant must have their own paid ticket to the event.

  • Of course! Every participant gets to take their completed masterpiece home at the end of the session.

  • Signing up is easy! Visit our website, check out our event calendar, and register for the event of your choice. Spots fill up quickly, so we recommend booking early.

  • If you or someone in your party has a disability or requires special accommodations, we’re happy to work with you to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience. After reserving tickets to an event, please contact our customer service team at info@artfromtheheartyvr.com.

Changes to my Ticket & Refunds

Life happens! Here’s how we handle changes to tickets and cancellations.

  • Tickets to our events are non-refundable. This policy helps us plan effectively and ensure we have the right amount of supplies and staffing. However, if you are unable to attend, please reach out, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you, such as offering a credit for a future event.

  • You can reschedule your reservation for a future event up to 8 hours before your start time. Email us at info@artfromtheheartyvr.com, and we’ll send you a code to reschedule. Reservations cannot be rescheduled within 8 hours of the event start time. If you’re in a tough spot, contact us, and we’ll do our best to assist you.

  • Yes! Our tickets are transferable. The participant name does not need to match the ticket buyer’s name. Just have the new guest check in with the same name the tickets are booked under. Physical tickets or confirmations are not required.

  • If you’re running late, notify us at info@artfromtheheartyvr.com. Our public events often occur after the Bentall Centre’s opening hours, and access into the building may be limited. Staff will grant you entrance. Please be patient as this may take time after class has begun, and the instructor may not be able to repeat missed steps.

  • Sometimes stuff comes up—we’re so sorry we had to cancel! A full refund for your ticket will be issued immediately, along with a discount code for a future event.
