A forest reflected in still water, stars scattered across a deep blue-black sky, the whole thing glowing in greens and purples — that's what we're building together on Sunday afternoon. I've run a lot of these sessions and the northern night sky paintings always get people. Something about watching those colors come to life on your own canvas, stroke by stroke, makes the room go a little quiet in the best way. Society Kitchen's outdoor space keeps it easy and relaxed, and I'll meet you where you are — if you've never held a brush before, that's completely fine. By the end, you'll have a canvas full of stars to take home.
Spend your evening where great food, creativity, and good vibes come together. Our lively outdoor space offers a unique night out with delicious, fresh-made dishes, hands-on painting, and fun arts & crafts for all ages. Whether you’re here to relax, socialize, or tap into your artistic side, there’s something for everyone. Enjoy happy hour deals on a carefully selected list of wines and local beers—the perfect pairing for a night of food, laughter, and creativity. Come dine, sip, and create with us—it’s more than a meal, it’s an experience.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Bright Northern Night is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Arlene 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. Arlene is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Society Kitchen, 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.
Arlene is a real local artist based in SANTA MONICA — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 12 out of 27 guests who've painted with Arlene say the instruction was amazing. Julianna B. said: 'Awesome event! The teacher is so incredible and the event was fun, educational, entertaining and inspiring!! Highly recommended!!!'
Society Kitchen is a local venue in SANTA MONICA — 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 21 upcoming events in SANTA MONICA this month. You can view them here.
Bright Northern Night is a winter painting — cozy seasonal vibes for a great night out.
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 SANTA MONICA, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Bright Northern Night 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 Arlene. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Society Kitchen — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Society Kitchen's event starts at 1:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 12:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Arlene 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.
