The Arts and Culture Vision Committee was tasked with examining the role of arts and culture in the city in the long term, setting objectives for the promotion of arts and culture and presenting measures for achieving them. The committee was also tasked with preparing policies for Helsinki, based on which parties operating in Helsinki, including those unaffiliated with the City, could promote the fulfilment of the vision.
