The act of creating software is a craft. Designing the architecture for software is what I'd call engineering, but there is still a lot of craft involved in most software architecture. I don't think there is any art in it, unless the software you are building it supposed to be an artistic project. But that is not unique to software, painting itself is a craft, painting in a novel thought-provoking way is art.
