Entertainment & Art are 2 disciplines linked to each other. Art is connected to the cultural histories of societies across the globe. Entertainment encompasses artistic expressions done by a particular group within a cultural society. Entertainment & art can also be different amongst groups of people from a specific cultural framework.

Artistic expressions can be entertaining for most people, but it can also be incorrectly interpreted by particular groups of people as taboo or unconventional. For instance, some Islamic traditions in the form of artistic expressions can constitute a minor part of the entertainment industry in most Islamic nations. However, the same Islamic traditions can become cultural rituals that are not practiced or viewed as forms of entertainment by Protestant countries.

Nevertheless, gaps between varying forms of entertainment & art have been bridged by modern types of platforms. Multimedia has helped communicate the artistic expressions in the form of entertainment by ethnic groups of people to other nations around the world. These multimedia mediums include TV, radio, print, and the Internet among others.

The Internet has even evolved into a platform that allows viewers across the globe to participate in various artistic disciplines and entertainment forms. Web 2.0 was the product of such an evolutionary progression of the Internet from a medium of information diversification and digital communication to a platform for entertainment and artistic expression by diverse groups of people around the world.
