Every now and again, the Arts Council of Finland
publishes a special number of its magazine in English if the theme is
targeted at an international readership. This is the case with this number:
it deals with Finnish cultural exports.
The Finnish cultural export project, launched in 2004, refers not only to
the commercial export of cultural products to other countries, but include
the exchange of cultural meanings, in a process of interaction and
co-operation. The articles in this number present the topic from a variety
of viewpoints and artistic sectors, looking also at the role of cultural
programmes in national branding and competitive advantage. A brief interview
with Kimmo Aulake, Finnish delegate and Chair of the Council of Europe's
Steering Committee for Culture, is included.
The magazine is available in PDF, or can be ordered in paper from the website
of the Arts Council at this
