Kulttuuripankki expands digital services for art professionals

Kulttuuripankki has expanded into a joint online service covering 14 provinces, designed to increase the visibility and employability of art and culture professionals. The platform allows creators to showcase their expertise, productize services, and reach new clients, including individuals, municipalities, educational institutions, and businesses.

In Espoo, the city has actively promoted the service since the beginning of 2026 to align with its strategic goal of being a premier location for innovation and employment. Project planner Salla Vallius noted that the service helps creators overcome the time-consuming challenges of marketing their own skills, while national coordinator Eerika Lehtinen emphasized that the platform aims to lower the threshold for finding new collaborators and supporting entrepreneurial skills in the creative sector.
