Artsy is a term that describes someone or something that displays artistic style or interest. The term may be used to to criticize or compliment a piece of work making context an important part of understanding the intent of the term.

If used in a complimentary manner it is meant to show appreciation for the creator's "eye" for design. This slang word has increased in popularity as more people have cameras and pic sharing avenues at their disposal to show off their new "hobby" to the rest of the world.
