Why is art central to the development of civilization as oppose to peripheral?

I am currently learning about Mesopotamia right now in civs 12 and I came across this difficult question:

Why is art central to the development of civilization as oppose to peripheral?

I was thinking because art is a result of division of labour, and literature is also a part of art.

Anything else?

What is the importance of art in society?

What is the importance of art in society? What would a society without art look like?

When I mean art, I also include architecture, and even literature, dancing, etc.

So, can a society or civilization exist without art? If there was no art, could things like scientific achievements be made, or would we have become so primitive that we can’t do such things?

What makes a work of art (painting, music, film, sculpture, literature, or whatever) a good one?

Are there conditions such that any work of art (of that kind) that meets them will be a good one, and any work of art that does not meet them is not a good one? Why or why not? If you think there are such conditions, what do you think they are? Why? Are the conditions different for each of the different kinds of art forms, or are there some criteria common to all good works of art, no matter what kind of art they are?
