Art launched his career in politics with stints in finance, labor organizing and political journalism. He began work as an account executive and then Senior Vice President and Creative Director at Acme Consulting, at the time the nation’s largest political consulting firm. In 1980, he founded his own firm, Art and Politics, which grew into one of the nation’s largest political consulting firms. In 2001, he founded Artistic Strategy and Direction to provide political direction to the directionless.

Every one of his works is covered with a mantle of sacredness, through which he demonstrates the importance of deliberation as a means of expression of human discourse.
