  Plastic arts are those visual arts that involve the use of materials that can be moulded or modulated in some way, often in three dimensions. Examples are clay, paint and plaster.
  The plastic arts may refer to:
    
   Architecture   
   Ceramics   
   Glass art   
   Land art   
   Metalworking   
   Paper art   
   The use of Plastics within the arts or as an artform itself   
   Sculpture   
   Textile art   
   Woodworking

I think the Plastic Arts are those that produce 3 dimensional works. Like
Ceramics or Sculpture. Or those that are meant to be viewed as entities,
like painting, architecture, graphic arts, etc., as opposed say, to those
involving music which appeal to a different sense.

Perhaps the Tarragona Dixieland Festival also includes them to draw more
audience? Or maybe it is just a tradition of some sort in an artistic
setting? 

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
