arts and culture
Society's creative expressions
Arts and culture refers to creative and intellectual pursuits—visual arts, music, literature, theater, film—along with the traditions, customs, and social practices of a community or society.
The phrase often appears in journalism and institutional contexts: the arts and culture section, funding for arts and culture.
It encompasses both high culture (opera, museums) and popular or folk traditions.
