ASSOCIATION

The Mylly activities are based on the Pro Mylly ry association for creative arts. The association has around 30 members and its activities are governed by a board.

What Mylly?

Mylly’s objective is to maintain cooperation between different agents operating in creative arts and to improve the opportunities for work for those operating in the field. The key idea of Mylly is for all of the activities to be centred around the association’s members, respond to the members’ needs and interests, and to provide them with opportunities for work and showcasing their work.


A strategy reflecting Mylly’s activities and size has been drawn up for the period 2021–2023. Mylly’s main goal is to serve as an inspiring and encouraging community where people enjoy working.
