Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland
Finland’s cultural policy comprises the different sectors of arts and culture, museums, cultural heritage, libraries, cultural exports and creative work. Arts and culture are supported by both central and local government.
The Ministry of Education and Culture is responsible for legislation, central government financing and strategic steering and for providing prerequisites for artistic and cultural activities. Finnish municipalities are self-governing entities and promotion of general cultural activities is one of their tasks. They encourage cultural activities among local residents by providing grants, by making facilities available and by organising events. Municipalities also maintain arts and cultural institutions.

Preparations for the 2025 Helsinki Biennial are underway – Esplanadi Park to be included as a new venue
The Helsinki Biennial 2025 will be held from 12 June to 21 September 2025 on Vallisaari Island, in Esplanadi Park, and at HAM Helsinki Art Museum. Curated and produced by HAM, this major visual arts event is organised with great passion for a broad audience, aiming to create a thought-provoking celebration of visual arts in the summertime maritime environment of Helsinki.
The Helsinki Biennial is an ambitious major visual arts event offering a unique overall experience in Helsinki’s archipelago nature. The biennial’s cornerstones are site-specific commissioned works for each edition, where art enters into dialogue with Vallisaari Island’s history and its flourishing nature that has existed without human habitation for decades. The goal of HAM and the City of Helsinki is to make the Helsinki Biennial one of the most renowned international art biennials.
