true, art can serve a purpose for the artist in the way of personal growth, but it does little else for the public other than something to criticise or place in the hallway of your house. design serves a greater purpose. You can design a chair, but you can't design a sculpture of a person (that design was done at birth).
There are different ways of looking at the purposes of art, but I think Bluejam's description was close, except I disagree that Designer's "have to be told what to create". I think designers can come up with their own ideas of what to create, but what they're designing has more substance and purpose than a sculpture or a painting.
