REQUIRES INFORMATION The City of Helsinki Strategy Programme 2013–2016 states the vision that Helsinki is a ‘community for all its residents and a capital with good services, open decision-making processes and flourishing science, art and creativity’.

In an age of big data, it is only too easy to allow oneself to be immersed in the background noise of the information overflow, and increasingly difficult to locate strategically significant knowledge.

On the other hand, the possibility to ‘mine’ the various data reserves and make new discoveries by combining different infor­mation sources can be as addictive as digging for gold was in the past. A rich source of data is Helsinki Region Infoshare, the open data service offering a wealth of open public data resources about the city and the region for free use by citizens, experts and enterprises.

Open, up-to-date and comprehensive information and knowledge is not useful unless we utilise it to strive towards clearly defined goals and objectives. New information enables us to reflect on and rethink our goals when necessary. The cultural policy of the City of Helsinki has the overarching aim to increase the residents’ wellbeing and foster their sense of citizenship, as well as the vitality of the city, by means of arts and culture. A key asset is our highly competent cultural staff whose expertise is constantly updated by the latest essential and refined information about arts and culture.

This information must be in a format that makes it easy to grasp and strategically utilisable.

The dynamism and vibrancy of Helsinki, as outlined in the Strategy Programme, refers not only to international recognition, attractiveness and a business-friendly attitude, but also to the

W O R D

C U L T U R E

AND GOALS development of Helsinki’s distinctive urban culture. Culture provides enjoyment, quality of life, jobs and opportunities for participation, but it is also one of the sources of the city’s attractiveness.

The Cultural Policy Division of the City of Helsinki cultural administration is in constant dialogue with the community of cultural policy researchers, and here it receives strong support from City of Helsinki Urban Facts. The close interaction with the artists and cultural actors subsidised by the City also serves to accumulate understanding and insight.

City of Helsinki Urban Facts has issued thematic statistics on arts and culture approximately at five-year intervals. This statistical publication is preceded by similar volumes issued in 1995, 1999, 2004 and 2008. Compared to its predecessors, the present volume puts more focus on the data and information base underlying cultural statistics. Information designers have contributed to the visualisation of the statistics presented in this publication.

The accumulative wisdom obtained from all the information and objectives should be available to guide us in every customer encounter or strategic decision. To make this happen is a challenge for the managers and directors. Precise and correct information helps us proceed towards the goals which we have determined.

VISUAL ARTS

V I S U A L Beside the museums, visual arts are on free display in art galleries, which organise regular exhibitions. There are also other venues e.g. cafes, libraries, where exhibitions are less regularly organised. This amounts to a total of more than 200 spaces available for organising exhibitions. Each year, both the Finnish Painters’ Union and the Association of Finnish Printmakers organise a major sales exhibition.

Public art is on view outdoors in various parts of the city and in public facilities owned by the City. The Helsinki Art Museum, which owns and acquires works of art, makes new public art acquisitions annually.

CINEMA & MEDIA

CINEMA & Helsinki is a vibrant city of cinema. For instance, 2013 there was 14 film festivals in the city. In Finland, top ten film charts typically include many Finnish films. Although the number of cinemas and screens has decreased considerably in the last ten years, but going to cinema has not.

Moreover, films are increasingly watched in home cinemas, and watching films over the Internet is becoming increasingly common. Video service providers offer high definition streaming at cheap monthly rates.

Finland ranked highest on none of the themes treated in the study, ranking among the lowest in terms of frequenting cultural blogs. Helsinki respondents, however, behaved more like Swedes than like Finns at large.

GAMES

G A M E S In the spring of 2014, there were 58 game development companies in Helsinki. In Finland, the total number of companies was about 200. In the past couple of years, the number of companies has grown significantly. Some of the gaming companies focus solely on game development, while in others game development is parallel to some other functions.

The turnover of game development companies has grown along digital distribution channels and the increase of data transfer capacity. In physical distribution of games, the majority of the profits were taken by the publisher, distributor and retailer. Digital distribution is used for games developed for all platforms, but especially for mobile games.

The domestic market in the game industry in Finland is extremely limited. In fact, companies have started to target international markets directly, and English is used in most games. The digital distribution model also supports and enables international marketing.

Tekes (Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation) has actively funded game development since 1995. Tekes’ Skene programme offers, in addition to funding, services for the development of operational and business models as well as digital distribution.

Game developers can also receive funding through several other channels. Traditionally, investors and business angels have funded development which they believe to be successful.

Newer methods of funding include various procedures based on crowdsourcing. sources: Neogames, The

RESIDENTS’ OPINIONS

R E S I D E N T S ’ O P I N I O N S Cultural pursuits and opinions on arts and culture among Helsinki residents were studied In autumn 2013 by City of Helsinki Urban Facts in a web-based survey. A snowball sampling method was applied, and responses were obtained by email and Facebook. The questions concerned themes such as respondents’ consumption of various forms of arts and culture; the most interesting cultural event of the year; problems and shortcomings of cultural offerings in Helsinki; the use of the Internet for arts and culture-related purposes; satisfaction with cultural offerings in Helsinki; and the role of the respondents themselves in the field of arts and culture.

838 people between 14 and 79 years of age (average 49) responded.

Every tenth respondent was under thirty. Like other studies, this one found that women more often than men relate to arts and culture: 73 percent of respondents were women.

A great majority of respondents (85%) “sat in the audience” as spectators or listeners. Well over a quarter (29%) reported they were active amateurs or students of some cultural field. 13 percent of respondents (17% of men, 12% of women) had an arts and culture related profession. Depending on the situation, respondents could assume more than one role. source: Keskinen

FINANCING

FINANCING The City of Helsinki, the national government and private actors such as foundations fund the cultural activities taking place in Helsinki. The direct public funding of culture and arts consists primarily of maintaining municipal and national organisations, as well as giving out subsidies and grants. As for the national government, this also includes copyright remunerations and corporate subsidies.

The City of Helsinki funds cultural activities partly through the annual budgets of City departments including City Library, Philharmonic Orchestra, City Museum, Art Museum, Adult Education Centre and Cultural Office, which maintains venues and centres for different cultural activities.

The City of Helsinki Cultural and Library Committee grants subsidies to cultural activities within the city. The committee gives out production grants, subsidies for development projects, subsidies for local culture to increase resident participation and culture awards as well as arts grants. Included in the City budget are operating subsidies for art and cultural institutions.

For its part, the national government maintains cultural institutions located in Helsinki. The government finances part of cultural institutions and organisations based on museum, theatre and orchestra laws. Other organisations are financed on a yearly basis by ministerial decision. Yet another part of the state funding is allocated as grants to artists. Corporate subsidies to entrepreneurs in the culture sector are also directed through the national government.

Other forms of funding for cultural activities consist of foundation funding, sponsorship co-operation and EU funding. Enterprises in creative industries operate mostly on a commercial basis. The citizens and customers contribute to cultural funding by buying products or paying admission fees and by voluntary work.
