I'd say graphic design is more about the layout, colour choices, composition, font, user interface design (like with webpages),
its like getting the functionality of it down, and then decorating it so it looks pretty

in short, graphic design is more abstract and graphic arts is more about the rendered details, draughtsmanship etc

@Fishy My oldest niece got her graphic design degree, however she cannot find a job to save her life because she refuses to move to a city that has actual graphics designs studios, like Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, or New York.

@NativePortlander1970 I'm surprised it doesn't have a work from home thing 🤔

I hope your niece finds her dream job one day tho 🥺

@Fishy I don't understand why there isn't that. We all have been hoping for about five years now, but Thank You so very much on her behalf :) 🤗❤
