Appreciating the arts is one thing that emphasizes our humanity. What do your own characters have in common with you? I sometimes take a piece I know and get a character to like or loathe something I'd either adore or hate. I see this as proving the characters may start life in my head but they don't stay there. They get out and develop lives of their own, as it shoud be.
What form(s) do the arts take in your fictional setting? Is it big on, say, music but weak on portraits? Is anyone seeking to corect that? How much support does the arts get from government (central or otherwise)? Can any of your characters take part in/support the arts or is this restricted?
