While “art” is a terribly broad term, it is clear what art is across the world. Many of the countries of Terra encourage art in all its myriad forms. Often times, the most renown artists acquire patrons. Rich men and women favor their artists with finances, workspaces, and all means for a thriving lifestyle.
Musicians, sometimes called bards, even have their own academy. There is a contest, competition, every year. They are given great prestige, especially in Iskendurun, Nestapor, Krezdiv, and Alondrol. Cynsely is a hub for artists to thrive as well. They encourage dance and acting over all others.
Many countries encourage jewelers and metalsmiths as artists, in their own right. Gnomsih tinkerers, dwarven jewelers and weaponsmiths are among the most highly sought-after. Halfling toy-makers produce some of the best for royal, and noble children.
Sculptors and painters are regularly commissioned by royal and noble families to commemorate their greatest members. Weavers, tailers, and seamstresses create fabric and garments of such elaborate design and intricacy that they set the trends for entire nations.
Art is a way of life that enriches all the people of Terra.
