Possible to attain happiness without support, through art? Is it possible to attain happiness without support, through art, not overt meditation?

I'm not really an expert on any art, but take the question (somewhat) seriously.
Working on your hobbies, advancing your career, developing a family, nurturing a child, going on vacations, increasing your wealth, raising your status in the world, attaining fame in society etc. could all make you happy.

Here, I'm guessing that art could be your hobby or career.

But the point is that these types of happiness would not last forever.

The goal of Buddhism is to find the sort of happiness that would be permanent.

On another note, please see this answer on why actors may go to hell and this answer which elaborates on the point that music and entertainment is not allowed for those undertaking the training of the eight precepts, ten precepts or ordination into monkhood.
