the arts [n.]
‘The arts are about creating objects, images, and works that communicate a message or emotion to an audience. It might be putting on a play for a large audience, or writing a poem that someone will read on their own. The relationship between the artist and their audience is the space where a work of art is interpreted and responded to. An art is a special skill or craft that you can learn. When we talk about “The Arts”, we are usually referring specifically to the creative arts - visual art, music, and the performing arts such as theatre and dance’.
