On May 27 at the York Street Public School, One World Awesome Arts held an event featuring performances by the children and youth of Ottawa's Lowertown neighbourhood. A number of Ottawa-based professional artists such as 201 World Slam poet champion Ian Keteku and Internationally-reknowned beatboxer Julia Dales performed.

In addition, One World Awesome Arts was proud to be involved with the Lowertown Celebration Festival that took place on May 28th in Jules Morin Park. One World Awesome Arts was pleased to provide Hip Hop Dance and Slam Poetry performances and workshops, face-painting, and airbrush tattoos. As well, the children and youth got to try their hand at stilt walking, graffiti and even created cool environmental robots/sculptures with Tick Tock Tom!
