The results of the reseach, published by Arts Promotion Centre,  show that artists who have immigrated to Finland are not marginalised by the Finnish support system for the arts. Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement before they are included in the mainstream.

Applicants belonging to different language groups receive grants and subsidies from the national arts councils in proportion to their share of total applicants. Each year around 5000 artists apply for support from the national arts councils, approximately 4 percent of whom are non-native speakers. The share of non-native speakers among all applicants is similar to their proportion of the population, which was 4.9 percent in 2012.

The research was published at the opening seminar of the Arts Promotion Centre Finland�s �Year of Minorities� in Helsinki. The aim is to focus special attention on the rights of minorities this year. The rights of minorities as participants and audiences in the field of the arts will be highlighted, for example, on Arts Promotion Day on 1 December 2014.
