Extending the principle of percentage art

Project title

Prosenttitaiteen periaatteen laajentaminen

Description of initiative

The aim of extending the principle of percentage art is to improve the accessibility of art and culture and thus promote the well-being effects of art. This will be done by increasing the supply and use of different arts and cultural services in the care and client work of social and health care. The long-term goal is to make arts and culture-based welfare services an established part of social and health care structures and the monitoring of well-being. The expansion of the principle of percentage art was part of Juha Sipilä's Government's flagship program Improving the Accessibility of Art and Culture. The project had two lines: development projects and guided experiments.
