What are Cultural Arts?

Culture is a pattern of behavior shared by a society or group of people.  It includes the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities and habits of the individuals in these groups.  Cultural arts are one means by which culture can be shared with others outside of the group.  It includes different forms of expression like visual arts, literary arts, and performing arts.  An artist uses skill and imagination to create something that helps share the values and pieces of a group’s culture.  Read more about the meaning of cultural arts!
