'self-expression' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.

'during party' is the wordplay.
'during' indicates a hidden word.
'ART' is hidden in the letters of 'party'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for art that I've seen before include "Works in a gallery" , "Painting, for instance" , "Music, painting etc" , "''... is long and life is short''" , "Skill, craft" .)
