It it a subjective matter. Imo the difference between art (not music) and entertainment is the intent of the author.
If the author plays (any genre) for himself (to express an emotion or a point of view on any kind of matter) he is an artist.
If the author plays (any genre) for the audience (in order to please its audience expectations or to attract a specific kind of audience) he is an entertainer.
That said, there are good and mediocre artists and there are good and mediocre entertainers.
In other words, art is purpose while the genre is form.
