The club was founded as
Makkī F.C. Kantō in 1996. Educational Corporation
Horikoshi Gakuen took over the club in 2000. The reorganised club was briefly called Gunma F.C. Fortona but rebranded as
Gunma F.C. Horikoshi due to a trademark issue. The club won all the games in the 2000 Gunma Prefecture League Division 2. They won the 2001 Division 1 championship again without dropping any point. They won the Kanto Regional League Division 1 in 2003 and gained a JFL status in 2004 after winning the play-off. In 2005, they dropped "Gunma" from their name. It is widely believed that this was a move to appeal more to people in Takasaki area rather than whole Gunma after
Thespa Kusatsu became the first
J. League side in the prefecture. In January 2006, they adopted new name Arte Takasaki. The 2007 season has taken a new tumble for them, already guaranteed a last place finish, and will need to rely on at least one team's promotion to J2 to avoid relegation. Losing to
FC Gifu on the last day of the season 2–0, they were theoretically guaranteed a reprieve that was made official once Gifu and
Roasso Kumamoto were approved for promotion to J2. In 2008, they fared not much better, finishing with only
Mitsubishi Mizushima below them, and again they were reprieved when
Tochigi S.C.,
Kataller Toyama and
Fagiano Okayama were promoted. Following a fairly safe 2009, the team again stood at the tip of relegation after finishing 17th in 2010 but retained their place in the division by defeating company team
Sanyo Sumoto S.C., the- 3rd place team from the Regional Promotion Series tournament, in a promotion/relegation series. After facing numerous financial issues, the club was excluded from the Japan Football League in January 2012, following Arte Takasaki's final season in 2011, when the club was dissolved. == Stadium ==
