Brooke Dahmen is a Media Artist and Animator with a love for fine arts and crafts. Her love of photography brings much inspiration for painting both acrylic and watercolor pieces. She started working for PaintNite in 2013 and has found so much fulfillmentr in this opportunity. I love nothing more than being able to be both creative, and silly!
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Bee-utiful Pumpkin is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Brooke 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. Brooke is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Smokin BBQ, 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.
Brooke is a real local artist based in Mundelein — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 7 out of 9 guests who've painted with Brooke say the instruction was amazing. Susan A. said: 'Brooke is the best, she makes everyone feel like an artist!'
Smokin BBQ is a local venue in Mundelein — 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. 71% of guests who've attended events at Smokin BBQ rated the atmosphere highly.
Yes — we have 4 upcoming events in Mundelein this month. You can view them here.
Bee-utiful Pumpkin 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 Mundelein, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Bee-utiful Pumpkin 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 Brooke. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Smokin BBQ — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Smokin BBQ's doors open at 3:00 PM, 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 Brooke 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.
