The trick is not to Have Art, it's to make the time for Art To Happen.
There's not much that needs to happen for that to happen. Lay out all the tools you need and then use them until you end up with art. If you can't lay out the tools, find out why and fix it. If you can't use the tools, find out why and fix it. If you don't want to use the tools, find out why and fix it.
Or don't. Nobody's forcing you to be an artist.
Just don't pretend to be one at parties unless you're absolutely certain that it will get you laid. That's the only scenario where being a dilettante doesn't muck things up for the hard worker. Now, if the dilettante act is just a cover for a lot of hard work, you've got the best of both worlds. And you probably won't have to mooch as many drinks.

That's the real dream of the working writer.
