John Conway is the Audio Lead at the National Gallery of Art, where he has worked since 1988. With a bachelor’s degree in Communications, John has dedicated more than three decades to capturing and shaping the sound of the Gallery’s renowned Sunday Concerts, preserving these performances for audiences far beyond the concert hall.

He oversees audio production for the NGA’s YouTube channel and social media platforms, ensuring each recording meets the highest standards of clarity and artistry. Passionate about storytelling through sound, John’s goal is always to “paint an audio picture” that brings listeners fully into the experience.

From Cuernavaca to D.C.: Using Video to Build a Cross-Generational Experience

How can a thoughtful, holistic video strategy connect the dots between online and on-site experiences? Discover how the National Gallery of Art is taking a multi-platform approach to video to support and enhance the stories being told in exhibitions and online.

Our case study focuses on artist Elizabeth Catlett, the subject of a blockbuster exhibition earlier this year. Through collaboration, time-lapse filmmaking, documentary storytelling, and onsite digital installations, we created deeply connected hybrid experience across borders, platforms, communities, and generations.

We’ll share tips on how to apply this big-picture thinking to your upcoming projects, regardless of budget or team size.
