Mine are literature and painting, in order. Actually, literature has been my first love for years before I discovered music.  :)

Literature and cooking. :)

Film, painting, photography, and architecture would be in the next level down. Dance is in last place for me.

Theater and visual arts. I am an amateur playwright as well as a frequent attendee at theatrical presentations (or at least I was until March 2020). I am also a modest art collector and an avid visitor to art museums. Also have an interest in film and dance.

I add cooking too. Favorite cuisines: virtually any, but Indian, French, Italian, and Spanish perhaps above all.

Literature, painting, film, architecture, bronze sculpture. Cool thread idea.

Literature (poetry mainly), painting, film and photography.

It's interesting to see the replies here. Classical music is my only interest, whether artistic or non-artistic, and really the only thing keeping me alive. Apparently that's actually pretty unusual.

Literature, painting, European movie, architecture, theatre, noh, kamishibai (picture story show), and Rakugo (traditional comic story).

Mandryka

Other than sculpture and painting I like cinema and literature.

What he said. Apart from the film bit.
"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people ... then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbour — such is my idea of happiness"

Painting and literature (including the theatre, of course).

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
