The Finnish system of regional artists 1972-2011 (English summary)

The present study charts the early stages of the system and its subsequent development from 1972 onwards as well as related financial issues using data from the 2000s. Regional artists have also been surveyed through a questionnaire about their work experiences and views of the system and its development. Similarly to the previous research, the current study examines the person-years of regional artists as distributed by gender, artistic field and region across various periods up until the end of 2011.
