Educated at Acadia, UNB Law School and New York University Law School. Art spent many years in various capacities within the federal and P.E.I. Provincial Government Justice Departments. He served under five Island Premiers with his final 13 years in government as Deputy Minister of Justice and Chief Electoral Officer for Prince Edward Island. He went on to work as Director of the Atlantic Police Academy. Finally retiring in 1996, he continued to pursue his passions of reading, watching football and other sports on TV, flying his airplane, celebrating Christmas, feeding the birds and chipmunks, trout fishing and most importantly loving his wife, children and grandchildren.
