Art has personally attacked my family and my way of life. It should not be tolerated in STEM.
For real though, "Art" has a certain beauty to it BECAUSE it can be subjective. This allows it to be conceptual and can mean something different for everyone. Art is all around us, especially in engineering.
Modern art can mean many different things. Industrial Design is a great example of this; you blend art, design, engineering, and even social benefit into creating something.
I implore you to think about this a little differently.
Check this out for example:

Additionally, VEX uses Art as a division, and I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing. Da Vinci was an artist and engineer too.
There are many blurred lines here, I suggest you think about them and explore them deeply.
