Artistries

/ˈɑrtɪstriz/ noun

Definition

Plural of artistry; multiple examples or forms of artistic skill, creative expression, or the practice of making art.

Etymology

From artistry (from artist plus -ry meaning 'the practice of') plus -ies (plural). Allows discussion of different types or instances of artistic skill.

Kelly Says

The word 'artistry' is interesting because it's usually uncountable—you don't normally have 'multiple artistries'—but the plural form appears in phrases like 'the various artistries of different cultures,' suggesting art isn't universal.
