First Friday Art Walk – June 2025

Step into a world of hidden treasures and quiet beauty at this thoughtfully curated photography exhibit by Kansas native, Eric Hollaway. Enjoy a collection of stunning images that capture the charm of rural landscapes, small towns, and the peaceful places often missed by those speeding down the highway. Eric’s exhibit invites visitors to slow down and see the world through his lens—full of wonder, imagination, and a deep love for nature.

Eric has always had a strong connection to art, but photography has become his favorite way to express that passion. With camera in hand, he sets out on road trips across Kansas, drawn to the quiet roads and small details that tell a bigger story. His photos highlight forgotten corners and overlooked scenes—moments full of history, character, and natural beauty.

What began as a personal journey has now become something to share. Eric’s first public showing earned him first place as Emerging 2D Artist at the 2024 Aaron Douglas Art Fair. This recognition marked an exciting beginning for his art career.

Photography has helped Eric see everyday places in a new light. He hopes his images give others a reason to stop for a moment, take in their surroundings, and maybe see something they hadn’t noticed before.
