Hi Joyce,
 
I believe this topic has come up before and the  
 
Collections >> Art & Architecture Category is what is used for that.
 
If you wish to request a Fine Art Category again, you might consider posting in the Category thread here:

This is where Mindy will look for consideration  

I would not necessarily look in "Art & Architecture" for "Fine Art". I think the the category is too broad and should be split. Perhaps, "Fine Art" and then" Architecture".

Hi,
among card categories in "Collections" is also category "Museum/Fine Art"

Though I have what I call 'Fine Art', I don't actually put it here at GCU.  Fine Art these days has a wider definition to me in that a Fine Art Print is that which is archival.
 
Though I agree that Art and Architecture make no sense in being in the same category and I would love to see an ART category broken down by MEDIUM, I personally think that we should not call the cards on this site Fine Art.  I think it may at some point be another issue from a clueless customer who thinks they are buying Fine Art Cards when in fact they would be buying Non-Archival Cards with Fine Art printed on them.
 
Fine Art cards can be sold on Imagekind, Redbubble and so on where you are actually purchasing a greeting card with high quality inks and paper, usually archival.  
 
I'd rather see Collections >> Art with subcategories for mediums and styles.  
 
 
Just my 2-cents worth.  

Is there any other name for "fine art" such as traditional art or hand drawn or hands-on? I struggle with this when describing/differentiating my work for digital, for instance. My piece may simply be hand drawn but not really "fine" art. So what is "fine art" really? Can "fine art" be created on the computer?
 
Maybe just "art" is the best suggestion with sub-categories for painting, pencil drawing, crayon, color pencil water color, etc. Maybe that it too many subs???

I have made photo cards that I have sold in galleries and exhibitions and I too would call them Fine Art Photography, however, in today's world the term 'Fine Art' refers more to an original or archival print than it does distinguishing Garfield from a Picasso.  
 
IF this category is broken down into 'mediums', please also break down Digital.  Though there are those who do not consider a digital painting being an equal to a canvas painting (such as this which I assure you took time and brushstrokes, even though they were with a Pen and Tablet)

or this which is a digital pencil drawing:

These types of creations are much closer to 'traditional painting' than they are 'traditional digital art'.  
Digital is now a term attached to anything created on a computer and that is no longer an accurate term
 
Creating a Digital Art category is okay, however within that category there needs to also be a breakdown such as; digital paintings, 3D, collages and so on.
 

Hi Judy,
 
I'm sure you are correct that it is a U.S. thing and I hadn't thought of that.  I have watched the shift in thinking here in the gallery world of the states and it's sad, but true to find that Fine Art is not sought after the same way as it was 30-years ago.
 
Great point, thanks!
