Founded 2006.04.21 by Ham. Scope The scope of this project covers all articles relating to the fine arts and performing arts. Goals Fostering an active and interdisciplinary arts community on Wikipedia. Currently WikiProjects related to the arts suffer from long periods of inactivity, so what is needed is a single Wikiproject bringing together users of differing specialities, in the mould of the successful Science WikiProject. Contributors interested in the arts are vastly outnumbered by pop or geek culture experts as it is, so it is better to co-ordinate the efforts of the former group as much as possible than to segregate them into insular and unsuccessful WikiProjects on their particular topic of interest. Maintaining the Arts Wikiportal, one of the most prominent links on the Main Page, and its subportals. Starting an arts collaboration of the week. This will only go ahead when a sufficient number of participants have expressed their support for a weekly collaboration to be effective. Descendant WikiProjects The descendants of this WikiProject include: Aesthetics task force Architecture Dance Ballet Films Literature Novels Poetry Magic Circus Music Albums Classical music Composers Contemporary music Guitarists Musicians Opera Television Theatre Musical Theatre New York City/Theatre Visual arts Comics Graffiti History of photography Sculpture Symbolism and Art Nouveau Textile arts Public art Women artists (also a subproject of Biography) See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Directory/Culture#Arts for an up-to-date list. Portals Help with the upkeep of these Portals would be much appreciated: Arts Architecture Film Literature Poetry Music Opera Theatre Visual arts Anime and Manga Comics "Art means to dare — and to have been right."
