Tiivistelmä
The ArtsEqual project, funded by the Strategic Research Council of the Academy of Finland (2015–2021), investigated factors that discouraged people’s participation in the arts and arts education.
The project proposed to break the cycle of vulnerability through a range of active measures and examined current policies in the arts and art services from an ethical perspective. This report describes some of the most significant inequality mechanisms identified in the arts and arts education service system in Finland as well as the mental models that underpin them.
