Shimmering Forest

Yes. Shimmering Forest is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Rosa 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. Rosa is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Jennie's Boxcar, 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.

Rosa is a real local artist based in East Moline — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 6 out of 6 guests who've painted with Rosa say the instruction was amazing. . said: 'Rosa genuinely was great! Even when I was running behind or had trouble seeing the details she made sure to walk around and make sure I got it. 10/10 experience!!'

Jennie's Boxcar is a local venue in East Moline — 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. 73% of guests who've attended events at Jennie's Boxcar rated the atmosphere highly.

Shimmering Forest 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 East Moline, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to Shimmering Forest 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 Rosa. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Jennie's Boxcar — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Jennie's Boxcar's doors open at 11:00 AM, the 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 Rosa starts the painting.

You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 8 hours before this one starts. Rescheduling more than 48 hours in advance is free; within 48 hours of the start time there's a $20 fee per ticket. You can't reschedule within 8 hours of the start time, but if an emergency comes up, reach out to our customer service team and we'll do our best to help. Event tickets are not refundable, but your reschedule codes never expire, so you can redeem them whenever it suits you. If Paint Nite cancels this event, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
