The survey will allow us to collect up-to-date information on visual artists’ income and unemployment security. Your answers will support our advocacy efforts as we justify the need for change to authorities, the ministry and decision-makers.

The survey is implemented in cooperation with the Finnish Painters’ Union and aimed at professional visual artists working in Finland. The survey will be sent to the members of the Finnish Painters’ Union, the Association of Finnish Printmakers, the Association of Finnish Sculptors, the Artists’ Association MUU and the Association of Photographic Artists.


The survey is anonymous and takes about 20 minutes to complete. The survey will be open until Tuesday 24th of June 2025.

Respondents can enter a prize draw to win a €100 gift card to use for art supplies or at a bookshop. 

The more comprehensive the picture we obtain of visual artists’ circumstances, the better we will be able to carry out our advocacy efforts.
