Taike has multiple expert panels. Members of the panels are collected from members of national arts councils, regional arts councils and boards.

Taike’s public art team supports public and private actors and artists in funding and implementing public art projects. Our goal is to strengthen the share of art projects in the development of the built environment and a commitment to the “Percent for Art” principle.

The system of peer reviews for the arts will be renewed on 1 July 2026, and the arts councils that have thus far made grant decisions will be discontinued. They will be replaced by the Council of Arts and Culture, a pool of experts and rotating grant assessment panels. Welcome to our online status report on the progress of preparations on Wednesday 11 February, 10am–11am.

Personal e-mail addresses are in the form: [email protected].

Taike has three separate boards that decide on the awarding of statutory grants.

The Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike) and the National Audiovisual Institute (KAVI) have merged at the start of the year 2026 to form the new Finnish Arts and Culture Agency (Kuvi). The new agency carries out tasks related to the promotion of the arts and culture, media education and a safe media environment, as well as archiving and promoting knowledge of audiovisual culture. The merger will not result in any changes to services, although some contact information may change. The head office of Kuvi is in Helsinki, and it also has regional offices.
