I feel like your definition of Art is too simplistic and incomplete. At least since Joseph Beuys we know that "anything can be Art", and it's just a matter of how an "expression of an idea" is used to lift something up to the status of being Art. Crafts, as practices, are not excluded from that potential. While some artists turn the labor-intensive aspects of crafting into a part of their expression (including any angles on tradition and social-economic factors), like Ai Weiweis[0] installation Sunflower Seeds[1] in the Tate Modern in London, others might focus on the community aspect of crafting as part of their media, like how Thomas Hirschhorns[2] installation Musée précaire Albinet[3][4][5] close to Paris takes crafting as a means to "be present and produce something together on location", as "agreement", as part of a community in a public space, and as inclusion of anybody beyond differences in the understanding of Art. AFAICR he could even get the Mona Lisa from the Louvre for a few days to exhibit it there. Besides, I think it's safe to say that any work in the field of Performing Arts is based on an analysis of their craft.
