‘Artes’ (plural) changes the meaning to ‘arts’ in a generic sense; the standard expression for a specific club is ‘clube de arte.’

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, ‘clube de arte’ is a common term for after‑school or community groups that meet to paint, sketch, or explore other visual‑arts media. The word ‘clube’ often implies a regular schedule and a sense of belonging, while ‘grupo de arte’ can sound more informal. When speaking to older adults or in a formal setting, you might say ‘sou membro do clube de arte’ instead of ‘amo meu clube de arte.’
