Assignment Question

What is the purpose of public art? Does art have an intrinsic worth in our society or would you say that the progress and development of culture should be determined solely by a free market model that ties art more to commercial interests (art market)? How should art that exists outside of the art market be valued, and should it be funded? Does public funding of the arts make us greater or lesser as a society?
