Aesthetic live performance experiences are also generally included, contributing to an overlap with definitions of art and culture, and sometimes extending to include aspects of tourism and sport. Economic activities focused on designing, making and selling objects or works of art such as jewelry, haute couture, books of poetry or other creative writing, or fine art also often feature in definitions of the sector because the value of such objects derives from a high degree of aesthetic originality.
In 2001 the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) produced a definition of creative industries which has been widely-quoted: "Those industries which have their origin in individual creativity, skill and talent and which have a potential for wealth and job creation through the generation and exploitation of intellectual property.”
Plural: creative industries
Note: The plural -- or alternatively the term "creative economy" -- is used to refer to the set of such industries as an economic sector, one which has often been cited as being a growing part of the global economy.
