I tried finding Art instances to subscribe to after leaving Reddit and only found too which were for psychedelic art and erotic art. How do I make an instance for just Art and other instances for other genres? Unless does one exist?

Just to clarify, are you wanting to create an instance (an entire server like lemmy.ca, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world), or a community (a subreddit like nostupidquestions@lemmy.world, canada@lemmy.ca, main@sh.itjust.works)? Instructions differ greatly depending on your answer.

Sorry, community. I'm still learning lemmy

Hey, no worries. I'm new too, and most of us here are learning as we go. For communities there should be a link along the top bar next to the "Create Post" button (screenshot of my instance attached). Click it and it will take you to a page where you can name your new community and fill out other details about it. Once you've got it created feel free to post a link here! I'm sure we all will be interested in following a new art community.

Go to lemmy.world, click the 3 bars to open the menu, click 'create community'.
Good luck, I hope you enjoy being a mod!

I mean. You can do that on your home instance. Doesn't need to be Lemmy.world.

Have you checked out !art@lemmy.world?

You mean community? An instance is basically a server that connects to other instances, which themselves host communities on different topics.
On the web interface, you can create a community on your instance (Lemmy.ca). Once other instances have indexed your newly created community, it will appear to every member of their instances

The Lemmy Community Browser is a useful search tool for existing communities. Try different keywords and see what comes up. Here are a few I found:
!digitalart@lemmy.world !artshare@lemmy.world !watercolor@lemmy.ml

Here's a good place to start searching for communities - I believe Beehaw has art-related communities. Wayfarers' Haven: Community tips list
Otherwise, why not create your own? If your current instance doesn't allow new communities, you can do so on another instance.
