FYI, how I define art: An exhibition of craft that transcends its function and communicates a message of emotion, the human condition, or the larger world. It is neither a particularly specific definition, or one I would have trouble changing. Many people have trouble appreciating art because they are unwilling to challenge their definition of what art is.

Ah, the word "craft" enters the discussion. A huge overlap there. You know, the Dickmobile was a hugely craft project. Making a 15' long figberglass penis was not the point.
Maybe they should have built a porcupine.
