The Artists’ Association of Finland is a reliable partner with expertise in cultural policy decision-making. The Association also promotes the interests of its members in other policy areas, such as employment, entrepreneurship and social and health matters.
Our work is based on the strategic goals for the government program, which are published every four years. The objectives for the visual arts sector for the 2027–2031 government term have been prepared and published in collaboration between the Artists' Association of Finland, Frame Contemporary Art Finland, and Kuvasto.
Now it’s time for visual art!
During the 2027–2031 Government Term:
- Equal funding for the visual arts
- Visual artists are entitled to remuneration when their works are shown and used
- Making Finnish art visible locally and internationally
