plural of artist
"The gallery is hosting an exhibition featuring artists from all over the world who specialize in digital media."
In plain English: Artists are people who create visual works like paintings, drawings, or sculptures to express their ideas and feelings.
"Many artists gather at the fair to sell their paintings."
Usage: Use artists to refer to people who are creative professionals, such as painters or musicians, rather than using it as a verb like "to create." This term specifically denotes individuals with skill in the arts.
Derived from the Latin artifices, the plural form of artifex (meaning "craftsman" or "maker"), the term originally referred to skilled workers in any trade. It later evolved through Old French to specifically denote creators of fine arts such as painting and sculpture.
