Facebook Cultural wellbeing for the elderly and the operating conditions of artists
The objective of the research project was to produce a situation picture of the political and administrative system connected to cultural wellbeing in 2023 and to examine its prospects for artists working in the field. Both earlier and new interview and survey data were utilized. The research project got its framework from The National Programme on Ageing 2030 prepared by the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health (STM) and from the development programme Wellbeing from Culture for the Elderly (IKO) of Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike). This research is an indirect continuation of the evaluation research of the government program’s cultural flagship project carried out by Cupore from 2016 to 2019.

Infrastructure as a Success Factor in the Visual Arts
The research on art and art policy aspects has shown that the infrastructure for artistic work within the visual arts is significantly weaker than in many other art fields. This is also reflected in the working conditions of professional artists. Total income for professionals in the visual arts is lower, and job well-being is worse than in many other art sectors. To ensure that the sector remains viable and that consumers can continue to access the services of the visual arts, the sectors infrastructures must be developed sustainably, taking into account the needs of professional artists. The development project "Infrastructure as a Success Factor in the Visual Arts" addresses this developmental need. Success here refers to enabling professional artists to work and grow in their profession in the long term.
