Quite obviously, the process or activity of administering governmental affairs is an art that can be acquired and developed, over time, under proper training. So, administration is the art of government; in reality, it is government in action.
It's a mixture of both art and science. For example, managing staff requires imagination, empathy, emotional intelligence, ethics etc. But if you had to timetable a complex staff rota, you would need scientific skills - eg manipulating data on a spreadsheet.

Yes, public administration is considered both a science and an art. While it involves applying knowledge and principles to govern and manage public resources effectively (science), it also requires creativity, judgement, and interpersonal skills to navigate complex public issues and relationships (art).
Public administration is both a science and an art. It involves using scientific methods to analyze and solve problems related to managing public organizations and resources. At the same time, public administrators must also use creativity, judgment, and interpersonal skills to effectively implement policies and programs in a way that meets the needs of their communities.
Political science is considered both an art and a science because it combines empirical research methods and data analysis (science) with interpretation, analysis, and judgment of political behavior and institutions (art).

In the US, politics concerns the art and science of government. It relates to laws and how citizens participate in local, state, and federal governmental bodies in the US. Other nations have similar types of political definitions.
It is an art as it can not be a science.
Public administration is not a science or an art. Public administration is known as a "craft" for many reasons. It is not science because there isn't an entirely correct way of doing it, there are no equations that will constitute efficiency or effectiveness for sure. Science is all about facts, a scientific rule is one that works all the time. Although administrators use scientific laws, techniques, and data, they do so in ways that give individual imagination and temperament free rein. There is no precise formula that will invariably work best in all administrative situations. Not only do situations and people vary, but ideas for handling them are almost as infinite as the human mind. Public administration shares traits with arts but is not an art itself. Administrators work in highly imaginative ways, employing a mix of methods, including intuition. Like painters and composers, administrators often find their own moods and personalities reflect their work. There is however a vital difference that separates administration from being a craft and not an art. Artists create aesthetic works: administrators attempt to solve problems. The end products and criteria for evaluating the two differ.
