Info briefing on restructuring of Taike’s arts councils
Taike’s arts councils will be restructured as of 1 July 2026. The legislation was approved by Parliament in June. What will change and what will remain the same? Welcome to our open webinar on Monday 18 August, 11am–12noon.
Event information
The arts councils that make grant decisions will be discontinued in summer 2026. In the new structure, the Finnish Arts and Culture Agency will have a Council of Arts and Culture, a pool of experts, and rotating grant assessment panels to assess applications. The principles of peer reviews and the autonomy of art will be maintained in decision-making.
The info briefing will review the key changes in legislation and Taike's preparatory work towards the new peer review structure.
Registration for the webinar is not required. The event will be held in Finnish, but questions can also be asked in Swedish and English. The materials will be published after the event on the Taike website in Finnish, Swedish and English.
