We'll show you step by step how to create this, so you don't have to be intimidated! We opened this to younger ages, 6+ please and ask that minors under 13 be accompanied by an adult who ALSO has a ticket and is participating. Message us if you have any questions!

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. Stack-O-Characters 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 BloNo Pizza Co., 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.
Yes — Stack-O-Characters is one of our family-friendly paintings. All ages are welcome at this event. We recommend ages 5 and up for independent painting, though younger kids can share a canvas with an adult.
Rachel is a real local artist based in Normal — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 19 out of 20 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!'
BloNo Pizza Co. is a local venue in Normal — 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 27 upcoming events in Normal this month. You can view them here.
Stack-O-Characters 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 Normal, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Stack-O-Characters 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 BloNo Pizza Co. — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
BloNo Pizza Co.'s doors open at 11:00 AM, the event starts at 7:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite 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.
This event has reached our minimum attendance threshold and is guaranteed to run. If we ever have to cancel a guaranteed event, every ticket holder receives a full automatic refund plus a free ticket to a future Paint Nite — no questions asked. The only exception is weather or force majeure, where full refunds are issued but free tickets are not.
