This paper presents an on-going research project on music policy in Finland. The main goals of the project are to evaluate Finnish music policy and to create methodological tools for the analysis of cultural policies in general.

This paper deals mainly with the technical aspects of defining the artist; and it is, at least to start with, committed to the practical interest of identifying artists as a professional group for empirical social science research.

In March 1994 CIRCLE (Cultural Information & Research Centres Liaison in Europe) Network organised an European Round Table on the Distribution of Roles and Changing Nature of Relations between Governments and Independent or Quasi-Independent Arts Councils or Foundations. As a preparation for the conference the participating countries were asked to describe the national situation through answering seven questions within a maximum of about 5-8 pages. This working paper presents the reply of Finland to the questionnaire.

The aim of this project has been to map out the number and background of Finnish artists, and especially their economic situation, and to evaluate the impact of the system of artists' support adopted at the end of the 60's.
