Gerber files

Hi, I am trying to create output files of my PCB design for manufacturing. I am having trouble figuring out how to create files for the soldermask and copper layers. Under artwork, I created .ART files. I feel like this is what I need for the copper layers. Am I right? If that's the case all I need to know is how to create the files for the soldermask. Thanks for any help.

Just wondering, are .art formats the same as .gbr ? Which means if i give the PCB house (they accept Gerber, Gerber 274X and ODB++) .art (Top.art and Bottom.art) and .drl files, can they do the fabrication? Or is there a software that converts .art to .gbr?
I am new to PCB design so i am not familiar with the different formats.Thanks.
