Art was born in Norwich, Connecticut on July 3, 1936. He grew up in Washington, D.C., moving to Falls Church, Virginia in 1953, where he graduated from Falls Church High School in 1955.
Subsequently he graduated from the University of Richmond (B.A.) and from Colgate Rochester Divinity School (B.D. M. Min.). After receiving his theological degree he was ordained as a minister of the United Church of Christ. While serving as a student minister at the Gaines Congregational Church in Gaines, New York he met and subsequently married Carol Sue Hamilton in 1963.

He also served as administrator at Cherry Lawn School in Darien, Connecticut; Lake Ridge Academy in Ohio; Trinity School in New York City; Saint Edward’s School in Vero Beach, Florida; and Saint Andrew’s School in Boca Raton, Florida.
In 1984 Art was appointed Director of Business Services for the National Association of Independent Schools based in Boston. In conjunction with the National Association of Independent Schools Art was involved in the creation of an insurance company owned by schools and colleges, served as one of the founding directors, became senior vice president of the operating company United Educators Insurance, based in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and ultimately became president and chief executive officer of the associated reinsurance company, School College and University Underwriters, Ltd., based in Bermuda, from which he retired in 2001.
