Could 'enrichment' be translated into 'perfeccionamiento'?

No. Enriquecimiento significa algo que fortifica. Entonces arts enrichment
literalmente significa : la fortificación de su conocimiento de los artes

Pero en español no se "fortifica" el conocimiento, sino que se perfecciona o se mejora. También se puede enriquecer, pero no lo usaría en este contexto.

Si perfecciona significa hacer perfecto y tiene poco de ver con enriquecer. Mejorarse me parece una palabra más adequade que perfeccionarse.

Mejorar aquí, no pronominal.

Perfeccionar es mejorar, y se usa en el lenguaje académico: curso de perfeccionamiento de inglés, clase de perfeccionamiento musical, programa de perfeccionamiento académico, etc.

¿O sea que en España no se dice que hay que fortificar/enriquecer los conocimientos atraves del estudio?

Perfectamente válida la frase en Chile y posiblemente en LA.

No me lees, he dicho en este contexto.

Fortificar, no. En todo caso, fortalecer.

Sí en este contexto es perfect en Chile.

Fortificar y fortalecer son diferentes?

Lo ocupamos indistintamente en Chile......

Fortificar se usa más para hacer una defensa (un puente, un fuerte, etc.), aunque tiene la acepción de dar fuerza también.
