The GAP Creatives Database is your gateway to connecting with professional artists, cultural producers, educators, and entrepreneurs with multicultural expertise and backgrounds. It’s an open archive showcasing creative professionals based in Finland who work across various disciplines and bring unique perspectives to their fields.
