Hello- and THANK YOU for entrusting me to help you make memories and masterpieces! I have the best two jobs in the world- a mom by day and artist by night! Being a creative host has been such a rewarding experience showing others how talented they are with just a little guidance! I can't wait for you to attend a future event filled with fun music, great food and drinks from our many local venues, and painting our hearts out!
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Twisted Trees and Bats Please! is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Rachel 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. Rachel is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Cadillac Jacks , 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.
Rachel is a real local artist based in BLOOMINGTON — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 17 out of 18 guests who've painted with Rachel say the instruction was amazing. Saikrishnan S. said: 'We had a great time! Rachel was super friendly and super helpful the entire time. I didn't know I could paint so beautifully! Rachel made it so easy for us!'
Cadillac Jacks is a local venue in BLOOMINGTON — 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 8 upcoming events in BLOOMINGTON this month. You can view them here.
Twisted Trees and Bats Please! is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.
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 BLOOMINGTON, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Twisted Trees and Bats Please! 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 Rachel. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Cadillac Jacks — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
This event runs approximately 2 hours. Doors open at 2:00 PM — we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to get settled and order your first drink before Rachel 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.
