The Challenge
Background: The Väinö Tanner Foundation has promoted equality, democracy, and diverse social debate in Finnish society since 1961. They fund artist residencies, award the prestigious Tanner Prize, and host significant cultural events.
The Problem: The previous site had reached the end of its technical life. It became unnecessarily complex and failed to effectively communicate their diverse programs to modern audiences. The internal team also struggled with an outdated editorial workflow.
The Objective: The goal was to bridge the gap between the foundation’s rich cultural impact and their digital image. We needed to create a clear and accessible user experience for grant applicants, award nominees, and event attendees.
