Description
A shop which sells works of art. May be paintings, sculpture, or other types of art. The shop primarily sells art products.
Other shops types may have goods with an artistic / stylistic flavour, but if it's primarily practical goods e.g. furniture, kitchenware etc, then we use other tags for that
How to map
As with other types of shops, place the shop=art tag on a node 
at the centre point of the building, or draw an area 
around the building outline.

Proposed features/Art gallery (tourism=gallery) - An art gallery. Art galleries may sell the works, but this is not the primary purpose. The distinction with art shops may be tricky. Many art shops are named as a "gallery" but are clearly still art shops. Sometimes a place may be very much styled as an art gallery, but private galleries which are primarily funded by selling the works to visitors would still be tagged shop=art. Meanwhile a private gallery with a high turnover of visitors and relatively infrequent sales (expensive art!) would count as a tourism=gallery.

Tag:shop=stationery - We might normally think of a stationery shop selling office stationery, but it might also be a good tag for shops which sell art supplies (or maybe we need a new tag)
Tag:shop=furniture - Furniture shop. Even if it's very stylish (impractical?) furniture, you would probably use this tag rather than shop=art, for any shop primarily selling furniture.
