How It Works

1

Pick and Schedule an Experience!

The first step of Shot of Art involves choosing a package, event, or class, and deciding which art activity you or your group is interested in participating in. Book it on the website in the experiences page.

2

Arrival

Please arrive 10 minutes before your experience is scheduled to begin so we can avoid a late start. Once you check in, you’ll be offered protective wear to put on over your clothes to prevent any paint stains.

3

Information and Demonstrations

Our guests are encouraged to get a little crazy with their creations, but we still give everyone a demonstration on how to properly use the equipment involved in each activity. Our artists will go over anything you need to know, and they’ll then demonstrate helpful techniques.

It’s Go Time

Once you’re up to speed on how everything works, this is the moment to let your imagination run wild. Engage yourself in the process, and feel free to ask our artists for assistance at any point.
