Ghana abounds in interesting yet unacknowledged art forms of great value spread
along the length and breadth of the country. From the home to the farm; from the bed
room to the kitchen; from the parties to the funerals, the functionalities of these lesser
known art forms are put to use and manipulated. Whilst other art forms enjoy museum
collections, displays and elaborate exhibitions, the lesser known Art forms remain in the
dark, even though they are very close to us. Interestingly however, low recognition and
neglect have affected the production of the lesser known art forms, a phenomenon that
has motivated the conduct of this study. The study therefore sought to elicit attention and
recognition for these important cultural art forms through curatorial interventions. Efforts
were made at investigating what are lesser known art forms, the philosophical bases for
their creation as well as their aesthetic values in the Ghanaian society. A select group of
One hundred and thirty (130) individuals comprising curators, crafts producers and rural
inhabitants were purposively sampled to take part in the study. The outcome of the study
indicated that lesser known art forms are gradually fading away from contemporary
Ghana. The study therefore recommended the inclusion of lesser known art forms in
museum collections, preservation, documentation and displays of other curatorial
activities so that their place as viable art forms in the society would be established and
