==Kinzapedia Description==
"''A former archaeologist. He is currently the owner of the Curio Shop. If anyone knows gems, and secret treasure troves in Webkinz World, it’s him…well, and his ex-best friend Doug the Dog. Doug and Arte used to be like brothers, but after an unfortunate incident in which Arte found a series of gem mines and didn’t tell Doug immediately, the friendship dissolved. Arte is unmarried, but he has a sister and a nephew named Sparky. Sparky is the most important individual in Arte’s life, often visiting his uncle and wanting to learn more about his adventures.''"<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20111214091405/http://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com:80/ name=kinzapedia /characters/arte-fact/</ref>

Starting from eight years-old, Arte would go on adventures with his former best friend Doug the Dog, and would later gain an interest in artifacts. He had his first "real" adventure at fourteen years-old, exploring beyond Kinzville. At sixteen, he found his first treasure- an "ancient gold trophy".<ref>https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/contests-fun/winners-of-the-last-top-10-questions-contest/</ref> He often kept journals of his adventures and discoveries.<ref name=notebook>https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/contests-fun/alex-tigers-scientific-notebook/</ref>
 
Arte attended college under the archaeology teacher Professor Stripes.<ref>https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/contests-fun/ella-interviews-ms-stripes/</ref> After graduating, he took on the journey to find the tomb of Hippo Potamus, which he succeeded in (detailed in [[Arte and the Lost Tomb]]). He would go on to many more adventures, discovering and collecting artifacts along the way. During this time, he would become an "expert" of the Kinzville Forest, discover bluffium, and mine various caves he'd find.<ref>https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/contests-fun/tour-of-kinzville-the-kinzville-forest/</ref><ref name=notebook /><ref>https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/contests-?fun/alex-tigersfacts=artes-scientificgem-notebook/collection</ref> Stories of his adventures would be published in books, noted by Debbie Dragon during her interview.<ref>https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/?contests-fun/ella-facts=artesinterviews-gemdebbie-collectiondragon/</ref>
 
As told in [[The Last Adventure]], his final venture ended with him discovering the Gem Mines and foundfounding the Curio Shop, as to share the mines' stones with all of Kinzville. This was at the expense of his friendship with Doug, who wanted to keep all the gems for himself.<ref>https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/contests-fun/tour-of-kinzville-the-curio-shop/</ref> They have not spoken since.
