The conditions for artistic and other creative work will be better, and there will be more diverse ways to produce and distribute creative works.
- Inclusion and participation in arts and culture
Inclusion in arts and culture will be increased and differences between population groups in terms of participation will be smaller.
- Cultural basis and continuity
The cultural basis will be strong and vital.
Report on cultural policy
The Government will draw up a report on cultural policy and a cross-administrative growth Strategy for the creative industries, improving internationalisation (Creative Finland).
The report on cultural policy is included in the Programme of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo's Government. The vision presented in the report and the measures to achieve it are based on the situational picture of the arts and culture sector and its key drivers of change.
The Government aims to submit the report to Parliament in autumn 2024. The preparatory work will be carried out with broad-based involvement of the cultural sector.
The aim of the government's cultural policy is to promote creativity, plurality and inclusion in Finland.
