GAP Creatives Database Membership
GAP Creatives Database has been created to support, highlight and empower underrepresented art and culture professionals with diverse backgrounds who work and reside in Finland.
It is an open archive featuring profiles of creatives from various disciplines including those who do not tend to be celebrated in traditional and mainstream media also taking in consideration professional cultural producers, educators and entrepreneurs.
The database features profiles of professional creatives with diverse backgrounds who have the experience working within the multicultural environments, who have the perspective of working within diverse communities or are Finnish returnees who have lost their earlier networks and prefer to be part of a more multicultural community.
What are the requirements for joining our database?
Professional creatives applying for our database should fall under one of the following categories:
⇒ You are a foreign-born professional based in Finland.

Please note, individuals applying for our database must be professionals who reside in Finland. In case you live between Finland and other country, part of your creative work must be conducted in Finland.
