Shot of Art Kids & Youth Art Experiences uses non-toxic, water-based acrylics and provides full protection such as raincoats, aprons, and shoe covers, with a recommendation that participants wear clothes they do not mind getting messy. All paints, canvases, tools, and protective gear are provided, and parents are required to stay with their children during the workshop. Studios are available for kids’ birthday parties and provide space for cake and snacks. Experiences like Fluid Bear, Fluid Art, Spin Art, and the Splatter Room are open from ages 3 and up, while some activities such as Shooting & Spinning and Neon Paint Therapy are 18+ only. Shot of Art promotes individual artistic capabilities rather than instructing art.

Shot of Art is a family-owned business established by founders Ilya and Nadia (also referred to as Nadia Kuzmina and Ilya Kuzmin), a family with a decade of entrepreneurial experience previously specializing in the tourism industry in the Dominican Republic. Their vision was to create a haven where individuals could unleash their creativity without constraints, embracing the joy of experimentation and expression. The story of Shot of Art began in the heart of New York City, where the first studio opened, with a Grand Opening in August 2022, 1,000 visitors by October 2022, and 10,000 customers by May 5, 2023; a Los Angeles studio opened in March 2023 and a Chicago location opened in September 2023. Shot of Art franchises its concept and branding to interested entrepreneurs and has hosted art events for public figures such as Christina Aguilera and 50 Cent's son. Testimonials describe the experience as “this is kind of like therapy, quite honestly,” encourage visitors to “come out here to have a good time and let your inner child out,” note “I've never done art like this,” and say “Let your imagination run wild with shot of art.”
