Hi everyone! I'm Devan :) I'm a big believer in "trust the process" and I always have some sort of project going. My goal is to share my love for creating and help you appreciate your art too! Virtual tip jar Venmo: @devan42
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Rock Island Sea is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Devan 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. Devan is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Bent River Brewing Company, 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.
Devan is a real local artist based in Rock Island — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire.
Bent River Brewing Company is a local venue in Rock Island — 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.
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 Rock Island, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Rock Island Sea 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 Devan. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Bent River Brewing Company — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Bent River Brewing Company's doors open at 3:00 PM, the event starts at 6:30 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:00 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Devan 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.
