Vision for visual art education 2030
The goal of the project is to establish a national vision concerning the state of visual art education in 2030.
Introduction
Uniarts Helsinki’s Academy of Fine Arts initiates the compilation of a vision for arts education in the field of visual art. The goal of the vision work is to strengthen a shared view of what development needs, objectives and measures are relevant to education in the field of visual arts. The work also supports regional and national cooperation between different operators.
The group of education providers in the field of visual art in Finland is wide and diverse, and their core missions range from early childhood education to degree-oriented education and research and from non-formal education to lifelong learning.
All Finnish operators who provide training and education in visual arts are invited to join the vision work. The vision will be compiled as a wide, dialogue-oriented and collaborative effort on various education levels and among various operators in the field.
The project launched in autumn 2021, and the work will include seminars, meetings, questionnaires and surveys. The finalised vision will be published at the end of 2022.
