What is mainstream art?

answers1: Folk art for one. Arts and Crafts type things... quilts,
toile painted furniture, wood carvings of water foul, window or lawn
ornaments, costume jewelry... <br>
<br>
Paintings of the kind you might find in a hotel or restaurant:
landscapes, cottages, watercolor florals, animals. <br>
<br>
Generally, for something to be 'mainstream' it must be understood and
enjoyed or appreciated by the masses. So mainstream art is generally
just aesthetically pleasing, and not so much something that evokes too
much thought. Not to say that it's all boring. <br>
<br>
To be really simplistic, I'd say that mainstream art sells in volumes,
and fine art is expensive per piece?

answers3: When we say mainstream, it refers to the ideas, attitudes,
or activities that are regarded as normal or conventional; the
dominant trend in opinion, fashion, or the arts. Or popular among the
majority. <br>

One example are movies that you hear a lot about from other people and
advertisements.Sometimes, it is equivalent to a loss of inventive
creativity.
