The project Helsinki-Uusimaa Cultural Market improving availability of culture
The project Helsinki-Uusimaa Cultural Market is improving the equal availability of culture and the employment of artists and freelancers in creative industry. All 26 regional municipalities are taking part in the project.
About a third of the population in Finland lives in the Helsinki-Uusimaa Region. The majority of professionals in the creative industry of our country works here. Increasing the equal availability of culture and improving the employment of cultural professionals make our region more vital. Consequently, this leads to a better wellbeing and participation of the inhabitants.
As part of the project, workshops and a Cultural Market Event will be organized in the fall of 2024 and 2025. This project aims at finding new ways for municipalities and cultural actors to cooperate and act. In this way, versatile and qualitative cultural services are possible for everyone – also after ending the project.
This project is funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture and is implemented from 1 March 2024 to 31 Dec 2025. It is carried out by the Helsinki-Uusimaa Regional Council in cooperation with the regional municipalities.
