Introduction

Finland as a society and culture has enjoyed an increasingly supported  environment for creative culture or we might call them, creative actors (artists, curators, musicians, creative project groups, etc.). Its education and industry is following a gradual path that allows creative actors to continue to thrive in the future of Finnish culture and society. New education institutions and new approaches in industry (such as in new media), have constantly met the needs of a culture hungry environment. With this constant push from industry and education we might ask, what the future holds for the artist?

Certain questions about the direction of a technology/big industry strong influence will have on the nature of creativity. With education following the path of big industry to meet its need, do we see a different identity for future creative actors? Being tied to industry we might expect then that its success and direction will directly affect creative cultures. Do the traditions of art remain intact or will they be replaced in the future Finnish society? What does the future hold for creative actors if education and industry change direction and abandon the value of creativity? In essence this study seeks to map out various factors in the future of Finland’s creative industry.
