Hello Andrew et al.

I don't know if this can be considered authoritative, but the magazine
"Seven Arts," published in Philadelphia, has a home page decorated with
icons for what THEY, at least, consider the Seven Arts.  If I translate
those icons correctly, those arts are:  writing, architecture, dance (I
think), theater, music, sculpture and painting.  You can try your hand at
them, or drop them a note and ask.  They may be found at:
