I hate discussing a topic such as this because of the huge grey area at the intersection of these terms. Which is why, in fact, I’m not going to bother. With such a grey area I think it’s up to people to make they’re own opinions.
So in a nutshell:
They both overlap, art is a form of designing, expressive or not, it still has a function and involves creating something. Design, however functional, can be in a manner that affects the senses of beauty.
In my opinion artists and designers are both creators and it’s up to them to class their creations under whichever category they choose. It’s an issue with no strongly defined lines and no amount of discussion is going to change this. Our time would be better spent working on creations of out own.
