Local cultural operators’ vision for 2030!

Vantaa is a bold city of culture that combines individuality, joy and teamwork.

Vantaa’s cultural policy for 2021–2030 is the result of the common desire of the cultural services, representatives of the various city sectors, third-sector operators and residents to develop our city.

Culture and art act as resources increasing well-being and mutual understanding among the local community and clearing the way for the city’s future. Proud of the city’s identity and neighbourhoods, Vantaa is a place where culture belongs to everyone – both residents and visitors. Our home town supports art and attracts art creators and cultural operators. Culture means vitality, well-being and internationality.

Our lively vision creates opportunities for cooperation and unexpected encounters, space for growth and self-expression, and freedom to live a happy life. Looking for new thrills or comforting familiar experiences? Explore Vantaa’s wide range of high-quality cultural activities and events. Exciting experiences await you!
