I've even heard 'professional team sports' described as an art form.
Sometimes the word 'art' is used to describe any human activity that is done with a particular finesse, especially one that reflects the personal skill of the doer. Cf. "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". I rather like this use of the word, but it obscures the other nuances of "art".
