Best Answer

The arts were sacred to the Muses, the nine daughters of Mnemosyne (Memory).

Calliope was the muse of Epic poetry

Clio of history

Erato of lyric poetry

Euterpe of music

Melpomene of tragedy

Terpsichore of dance

Urania of astronomy

Thalia of comedy

Polyhymnia of choral poetry

Music was also considered sacred to Apollo.

None of the Greek gods seem to have taken a special interest in painting or drawing, though Venus (Aphrodite) was sufficiently interested in Pygmalion's statue of a woman to bring it to life for him.
