Javon Conaway, a Connecticut-native and Harlem resident, is a painter, photographer, fashion designer and entreprenuer who uses his work to spark forward-thinking conversations around justice, equality, love, passion, inclusion, education and fairness in New York City and beyond.Conaway created the slogan Art x Activism (pronounced Art & Activism) as a way to articulate his deeply-rooted commitment for bridging the power of art and activism to advance humanity. He hopes that this commitment will inspire the world to move, think and see activism from different viewpoints.In addition to being a painter, Conaway is equally passionate and skilled at leveraging photography, fashion, music and creative foods as a platform to promote the ideals encapsulated in the Art & Activism slogan. Through these various art forms, Conaway seeks to create experiences that inspire individuals to ask deeper questions of themselves and ponder new ideas to improve the state of society.

Featuring subjects both fictional and inspired, the individuals depicted are used to tell stories incorporating the core themes of the show. Bold and colorful, the pieces evoke powerful emotions, leaving viewers with a sense of hope and pride.
Artivism sets off to expand upon other endeavors of Conaway’s enterprise “ARTBYJCON,” featuring a pop-up shop showcasing eclectic apparel and merchandising from the retail side of the brand, as well as collaborations focused on music, foods, beverages and community. Conaway also looks to grow the “events” platform by combining an art exhibition with a trendy and sophisticated day-party vibe.
