well, yes and no.

rec.arts.misc is not strictly a `fine arts' newsgroup, but
fine arts fall within the scope of its charter, which is
simply to provide a place for the discussion of arts which
do not currently have their own group.

i suggest that you use it for fine arts until such time as
it is clear what fine arts groups are actually needed and
appropriate.  that, in part, is what it is for, after all.
