There are many purposes: propaganda, self-expression, hate and intimidation and oppression, love and encouragement and celebration. It depends on the artists as well as the audience.

As a writer it's because I have a story in my head that I want to share with characters who have things to say.

Friends of mine who draw, paint, sculpt, etc. Have said they have an image or a feeling they want to get out.

Every purpose that touches on communication. It has the advantage of the inherent proviso that interpretation is subjective. Since art is as old as humanity (older, perhaps if you look at bird nests and fish nests which they purposely construct to communicate) its impacts are deeper magic than anything else we know or pretend to understand.
