Advocacy and membership activities
Kultti advances the position of its member publications in various ways. We safeguard the interests of the publications, acting as experts in legislative processes, maintaining connections with national and international entities in the publishing industry. We offer services, training, marketing channels for the publications, and organize the ”Quality Cultural Magazine of the Year” competition. Read more about our membership benefits here in Finnish.

Kultti participates in various events extensively, aiming for a nationwide presence whenever possible. You can find the cult at least annually at the Helsinki Book Fair. We gladly collaborate with various entities, including other associations and libraries. Occasionally, we organize exhibitions, discussion sessions, and seminars either as standalone events or part of larger event series.
Cultural magazine galleries in Helsinki and Oulu
Kultti has three Culture Magazine Galleries: one in Helsinki at the Cable Factory, established in 2006, one in Oulu at the Cultural House Valve, established in 2015, and one at the Media Museum and Archive Merkki, established in 2024. In the Culture Magazine Galleries, visitors can read the latest issues of member magazines. The spaces are open to everyone during their opening hours. Various events can also be organized in the galleries. At the Cable Factory gallery, the latest issues of Kultti’s and Tidskriftscentralen’s member magazines are on display.
