Where should I park?
Street parking is generally wide open in front of our studio. Metered parking is free on the street after 7pm, and free on Sundays. We have a Diamond Parking lot directly behind our studio and they charge $4 from 6pm-7am, plus three other large lots nearby!
When do I need to arrive for class?
We recommend you arrive 20 minutes before class starts to allow time for you to get settled in and mingle with friends before the painting starts. Don't forget to bring your ID!
Is there reserved seating?
Yes, we have your easel set up for you at your spot before you arrive for class. If you have friends attending the class that you’d like to sit by, you can let us know when you book the class or you can send us an email. *Private parties do not have reserved seating.
What should I wear to class?
No dress code here...dress casual or dress up. We will provide you with an apron but painters have been known to get involved in their work of art.
What do I need to bring to class?
We provide the canvas, easel, brushes, paints, and apron for the class. All you need to bring is your ID and any appetizers you might want during the class. We also provide the plates, napkins, and silverware. We have a fun list of local wine and beer as well as non-alcoholic beverages to choose from for purchase, and we always have complimentary bottled water for all our painters!
Can I bring a friend with me to sit and not paint?
Due to our seating capacity we do not allow people to attend our painting classes with out a reservation.
I don't have any artistic talent. Will I be able to finish the painting?
Absolutely! Our artist will guide you step-by-step through the featured painting and will ensure that you stay on track to completing your masterpiece by the end of class. There are no mistakes, but acrylic paint dries quickly, making mistakes easy to fix and perfect.
How much do drinks cost?
Check out our menu here! https://menu.pinotspalette.com/spokane. We try to keep it as local as possible, so all of our wine and beer is from Washington state or northern Idaho.

We post new calendars on the 1st of the month. If you'd like to receive an email each month when our new calendar is posted, be sure to add yourself to our email list, or like us on Facebook to get notified there!
