The History of ART - POLI®

ART - POLI was started in 1998 by Fine Arts professor and artist Georgetta Gancarz as an international educational painting program for college credit, non-credit, certificate, and travel studies. Within two years the program expanded to include a variety of humanities and art courses.

ART - POLI is offered on six continents and expanding to other countries and cities. The program includes critiques by visiting professors and renowned artists in America and abroad. With an experienced resident faculty ART - POLI offers many opportunities to explore, combine, and learn new and exciting methods of communication in the arts. The combination of these subjects brings a broader understanding of art and an expansive network of ideas and reason.

ART - POLI The Paints

After teaching for over twenty-five years, Georgetta decided to make a line of paints that she could use painting on location (plein air) in Europe and in the classroom. The mix had to include a paint that did not dry too fast, fade in the light, or lose its color and body. ART - POLI Paints are made with years of experience of making and teaching art. The perfect mix of high-quality pigments, colors, body, smooth consistency, coverage, long life, and permanence were all considered in creating the formula. Whether painting in the studio or outside ART - POLI Paints is ready to travel with you!
