Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts (XCCA) opens its 10th cultural season this June, highlighting the wealth of Filipino heritage, history, and tradition through the KABUWADAN 10: A North - Central Mindanao Culture, Heritage, and the Arts Festival 2017.
The country’s first folkloric museum, Museo de Oro, is also set to celebrate its 50th anniversary this year. Museo de Oro is not an abode of dead things. It is, by all means, bursting with life, clad with vivid imagination and rich history. Through the artifacts and works of art displayed in its three exhibit rooms, rediscovering the 49-year-old “Museum of the South” promises a worthwhile and creative experience for the literati, artists, and museum-goers alike.

XCCA lined up cultural education programs, art exhibitions, performances, festivals, and cultural advocacy-based programs for the celebration of their 10th year of existence in the university.
The center is also grateful for the support of the various institutions such as the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Cultural Center of the Philippines, Film Development Council of the Philippines, Goethe Institut, City Government of Cagayan de Oro, SM City CDO, Centrio Mall, and Business Week Mindanao.
