The One World Music program was conceived by Ruth Koenigsmark and Barb Michel of Lakewood Is Art in 2009 and is presented by LakewoodAlive with the generous support of Lakewood Hospital, Panera Bread, City of Lakewood, Lakewood Public Library, Lakewood Is Art, and Downtown Lakewood.

Jim Crawford, Lakewood Library Director expressed delight in the series moving to the library’s front porch venue. ”The library serves as a crossroads for the community and at any given moment the diversity of our city is well represented here. The shared experience of One World Music will enhance and strengthen Lakewood’s social capital-and be a lot of fun, too!”
