Art as subculture

Every culture is full of subcultures. Professions as subcultures come with their own codes, language, expectations of the group, the culture's expectations of them, behaviors, attitudes, etc. Teachers. police, firemen, electricians, accountants, politicians, looking at each group gives us an idea of the subculture within the culture.

What results if we consider artists in this way? What do we learn about individuality, about expectations, about group identity, about behavior?
