What does ARTS mean in Scrabble?
noun
Creative and academic disciplines such as painting, music, literature, and drama, considered together as a field.
The arts groups together activities of imagination and expression that stand apart from the sciences, so a university might separate its faculty of arts from its faculty of science, and a city might fund the arts through grants to museums and theatres. The word is almost always used in this collective plural form rather than referring to a single artwork.
