Discussions

I tried to add to a previous discussion from May 2019, but it has been closed to new postings so I started another. The last post on the previous discussion re- what happened to paint nite says “Yaymaker Brandon, MB is making some changes and adding new people to the team. For the time being events will not be as frequent as before.” This was 5 months ago, and I still can’t see any new events posted. Anyone know if paint nite is still being held weekly at prairie fire house? Is there a website to access this information? Thank you!!!

I understand there is one at west end community centre this weekend. I have no other info though

I believe months ago; Shane, the artist who used to do the events has moved on. Since then they haven't seemed to post any new events. I had to ask for a refund for passes I purchased, as they were still selling playmaker passes with no Brandon events ever being posted. There is another local artist who puts on similar events though. Winnipeg also still seems to have active yaymaker activities.

Paint Nite fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House, Friday October 25 at West End Community centre.  
Not too many tickets left! As it is a fundraiser, anytime passes are not accepted.

Are you on Facebook? If you go to Prairie Firehouse there are several events listed some as "Make and Take with Shane" as well as a few other art type events.  
 
I have seen a few paint nite or art type events (some are by private people who do it in their own home) also advertised on Facebook

Hi,  
 
My understanding is the same is what someone else had posted earlier. When their regular instructor moved away, then Yaymaker/Paint Nite stopped doing events as frequently here. There is the odd one, but not regularly planned (by the "Paint Nite" organization anyway).  
 
I am Amanda (with Art with Amanda), and I offer the same type of thing. I have some events booked at Prairie Firehouse (as well as at other locations- ie. Chez Angela, Dragonfly Delights Tea Room).  
 
I also offer classes for small or large groups (as few as six people, or as many as fourty). Office parties, kids birthday parties, ladies nights out, family events, fundraisers, or any occasion really! Or you can register at various public events that are coming up!  
 
I offer other art classes besides painting. There are options for wood sign classes, paint pouring, Christmas ornaments, wave pours, as well as resin projects! Check out my facebook page at the link below for a listing of all upcoming events.

I can host events (I can accommodate up to 13 in my home or up to 40 if we find another space). Prices vary depending on the project picked and who is hosting the event, but they are usually between $30-$40 per person. If you plan the event then you get to pick the date and the painting we will do!  
 
Special discounted rates are offered for those planning fundraisers (You can make up to $800 in one evening!).  
 
Gift Certificates are also available for purchase!  
 
For those who have prepaid for a "Paint Nite/Yaymaker Pass" and can’t use it due to their changed procedures shoot me a message. If you can a few people together for a party, I’ll work with you to give you a discount to help offset that as a thank you for trying out an event with me.  
 
Feel free to text or call 204-724-9896, email artwithamanda19@gmail.com or contact me through Facebook for more information.  
 
Thanks,  
 
Amanda

I know this doesn’t help those who paid for those passes but check out Dunes in Brandon (Rosser Ave). She has a variety of different classes. I am sure if she had enough interest she would add others as well.  
 
If you don’t mind traveling Inspire in Minnedosa does a variety of classes too.
