In old world Egypt they kept the creative class in a seperate village. I believe this was needed to keep group harmony and focus.


was the separate village to keep the creatives in by themselves, or to keep them away from everybody else.


They had a god of "Art & Design" Ptah.

I imagine that the creative class was revered and feared. Potters had very low status making a commodity product that everyone needed. Hard to say what was going on.


Can't it be both?
