It’s an open archive showcasing creative professionals based in Finland who work across various disciplines and bring unique perspectives to their fields.

Our members represent a wide range of disciplines, from the visual and performing arts to cultural production, education, and creative entrepreneurship. Whether you’re looking for an artist, facilitator, or partner, our database has the talent you need.

Multicultural Expertise

Our professionals are skilled in working within diverse communities and multicultural settings, making them ideal collaborators for inclusive and innovative projects.
