The Sissala West District  is endowed with silent rich creative art and culture, such as pottery, basketry, weaving,  woodcarving, music, dance and many others practices since the dawn of ancient times. Some people engage in these forms of cultural practices as leisure, at times they sell their products for money which serves as a means of livelihood to them.

 Over the years many of the indigenous  artist, artisans, musical instrument manufacturers and poets have died without leaving traces of their art to the next generation, also the influence of formal education and western civilization has lessened the patronage of these indigenous goods. This lays a clear basis to establish the fact that in another 10-20years to come, these cultural resource people will no more be alive to practice or impart their art to the young ones or otherwise they will all diminish to totality without substantiation of their ever existence

 Retrospective analysis of the culture and cultural vocational practices in the Sissala west district in the past 20 years revealed that, throughout the 57 communities in the district, 15% have potters, 1.2% existing local alchemists, 5% are carvers, 5% are weavers with only 1.5% local musicians and 0.5% musical instrument manufactures (xylophones and drums). Majority of these people have died without imparting traces of their art to the younger ones, some of those individuals and personalities who are still alive today most often do not engage in their art because there is low patronage, lack motivation and often considered as outdated. This is as a result of lack of existing modern innovative system that promotes, uphold, preserve and market these products of art and culture. Also these cultural vocational practitioners lack basic tools, knowledge and technology to improve their art. Thus reducing the patronage since the quality of their products does not meet the market standards and consumer preference, hence gradually collapsing the practice of art and craft in our communities
