Xetoto arts festival has become an embodied custom in the traditions of the people of Anloland and its immediate surrounding communities.

Ghana has over the years witnessed a true display of arts, culture, and paintings made by raw talents who have nurtured truly their God-given gifts. Examples of these arts are seen in most of the country’s cities especially under the bridges in Accra, the country’s capital, and the all-known Chalewote festival by the people of Jamestown.

Well, there is a new generation of untamed talents from the Volta Region of Ghana who has defied all odds to put together a masterpiece of an arts festival, ‘the Xetoto Arts Festival’, to be hosted annually for many reasons.
