German term or phrase: künstlerische Fähigkeiten
This is from a flyer advertising for participants at a kind of summer camp. There is a registration form with all the usual personal details (name, address, etc.). Then there is a box with the heading "Sprachkenntnisse und künstlerische Fähigkeiten". I think it's referring to skills in the areas of music, drama and the like.
Can anyone help with a concise, down-to-earth phrase in English?
Thank you!

I posted this question because I didn't think "artistic" worked here, but since everyone who responded agreed on that word, I've used it. I like skills best here, and I appreciated the references, so the points go to Ingrid. Thanks everyone.

agree  Nicholas Krivenko: Although my first thought had everything to do with "abilities", I simply like "talent" better. In this case however, the correct term, IMHO, would be "skills". You thought of both and the vote goes to you!

  -> Thank you, Nicholas!
neutral  Helen Shiner: Might just be overstating it a bit if the Summer Camp is meant to be all-inclusive. Depends on the target audience.
