John Conway is a visual artist and cultural producer who works extensively in community and health settings. Through his practice he considers the role and capacity of visual art, and the artist, in non-traditional settings. This occurs through solo work and collaborative projects that engage participants in discursive processes to explore the potential and value of visual arts in relation to their specific circumstances. His work also occurs through research and project production. www.johnconway.ie
