Polli Talu (literally, "Polly's Farm") is a traditional Estonian farm
complex situated near the Baltic Sea, 150 km southwest of the capital city
Tallinn, not far from the port town of Virtsu. It consists of five log
buildings with thatched roofs made from locally-harvested reeds. The
structures date back to the beginning of the 20th century.

Marika Blossfeldt, an Estonian who had left her native country as a very
young child to live in Germany and, later, New York City, welcomed the
opportunity to purchase Polli's Farm in 1995. Her vision was to transform
the complex into an international arts center. The opportunity to purchase
the property and realize her vision arose only after the collapse of the
Soviet Union in 1991.

In 1998 Polli Talu Arts Center was registered as a non-profit organization
in Estonia. 1999 marked the first season of artistic and educational
activities at Polli Talu Arts Center.
