no.

unless "subjective" is getting used here in some sense that means almost nothing.
so call something "art" is a social action, a public thing.
even if that public is made up of people who are related to you, it's still a public act.
so it's a type of situation---not something that you just make up (if that's what you mean by "subjective")...

for example---say you're sitting in--o i dunno---central park and you hear a sequence of sounds that you find to be beautiful. is that art?
