A prominent activist of the cultural life in the region, he initiated a series of annual exhibitions entitled Ocalić od zapomnienia ('To Save from Oblivion'), presenting output of the local painters, and took part in many group and individual expositions of his own artwork. He co-founded an artistic group "Stowarzyszenie Malarzy" ('The Painters' Association'). Janowski was also co-editor of the Polish edition of Donald Kuspit's book The End of Art, which accompanied the art exhibition New Old Masters in National Museum in Gdańsk in 2006. From the 1980s until the early 2000s Janowski performed as a musician, with a notable participation in the European Projects for Young Artists - Germinations Europe and as a member of a jazz band European Sextett, consisting of Polish, French and German musicians. In the late 1990s and early 2000, he performed in the jazz band Nowy Kwartet ('New Quartet'), playing on the scenes of Tricity.
