What is Art?

Art is undefinable.

It's conceptual.

Perhaps Immanuel Cricket Club, which was recently awarded tax payer's money from a committee headed by Peter Britcliffe, could claim to be a collective of performance artists and try and secure funding from the Arts Council of Great Britain instead, the next time they need funding?
