The Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike) is a national agency under the Ministry of Education and Culture that supports professional artists and cultural organizations through grants and subsidies. Each year, it processes over 16,000 applications and distributes nearly €50 million in funding. Taike offers various grants, including artist grants (6 months to 5 years), regional grants, project grants, and mobility support. Selection is based on artistic merit, feasibility, and impact, with decisions made by national or regional arts councils. Application periods vary by grant type, typically opening in early spring or autumn.
