Much more than just a festival: it's a veritable crossroad for artistic expression, sharing experiences and discoveries, bringing together local and international artists, as well as visual art enthusiast from Togo and from around the world. Open to all and entirely free of charge, it sees itself as a platform for cultural exchange and encounters. Its aim is to promote art in the public space, to raise awareness among the local population and to pass on artistic know-how in underprivileged areas.

Émomé Art supports projects such as residencies, meetings and conferences, as well as cultural actions promoting artistic education with the aim of breaking down barriers, questioning prejudices and encouraging open mindness

For eleven days, local and international artists will cross four locations in Togo on the theme of "Art and Biodiversity". It will take place in Lomé, the capital, and Kpalimé from June 27 to July 07, 2024. .
Émomé Art is an independent festival, with no institutional funding since its launch. The aim of this fundraising campaign is to finance the logistical costs of the festival, such as international artists' travel, accommodation and rental of cultural spaces.
