The Arts and Culture Barometer
The Arts and Culture Barometer is an annual survey of attitudes and views in the form of a survey. The barometer aims to gather the opinions of those working in the fields of the arts and to invite discussion about topical issues regarding art policies. The barometer focuses on a specific theme each year, but some survey questions are repeated regularly. The questions which remain the same make it possible to observe changes in attitudes and views over time. The Arts and Culture Barometer is carried out jointly by the Center for Cultural Policy Research (Cupore) and the Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike).
