I like to bring up the example of Hawaiian Hula dance for that kind of reason. It's a case where a kind of "art" is inseparable from culture, heritage, passing down stories. Which is a lot different than simply doing what you feel like as art, as a form of "self expression." Not that I'm judging "self expression" point of view as bad, but just adding to the notion that what is considered art and the associated importance of it, is not always the same across cultures.
