You can force CKeditor to update the textarea value using:

for (instance in CKEDITOR.instances) {
    CKEDITOR.instances[instance].updateElement();
}

Also, you can use .serialize for the data - then you won't have to maintain the AJAX code if parameters change:

function saveArt() 
{
    for (instance in CKEDITOR.instances) {
        CKEDITOR.instances[instance].updateElement();
    }

    jQuery.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: 'art_save.php',
        data: $("#art").serialize()
     });  
     return false; 

 }
