The arts and culture field encompasses the performing, visual, and fine arts, as well as applied arts including architecture
and graphic design; crafts; film, digital media and video; humanities and historic preservation; literature; folklife; and
other creative activities. The arts alone can be classified into 13 categories: acting, announcing, architecture, fine art,
directing, animation, dancing and choreography, design, entertainment and performance, music and singing,
photography, production, and writing. Culture can be defined as the arts as well as the intangible shared beliefs, values,
and practices of a community . "Creativity" is sometimes used to describe the common elements of arts and culture, but
this term encompasses other fields as well. We use the Bureau of Labor Statistics definition of creativity, which
encompasses the development, design, or creation of new applications, ideas, relationships, systems or products,
including artistic contributions as a whole, many forms of arts and culture naturally manifest as aspects of daily human
activity . arts and culture contribute specifically to strengthening cultural values and preserving heritage and history also
building community character and sense of place.
