In February of 2008, Holloway Ventures partnered with The DC Chamber of Commerce to complete a visionary black history month exhibition. With African music and spirited visual art, the show was a huge success and led to opportunities with the EPA and with Artomatic, Washington, DC.
Things continued to excel later that year when Holloway Ventures partnered with the prestigious High Tea Society of Washington DC and its then Mayor, Adrian Fenty, to help produce a presentation of the hit Broadway show "The Wiz". The show featured an all-female stage crew aged between 14 and 15. It showed to a packed house and comments about the visuals included "stunning" and "brilliant". This impressed Randall and he began focus on the education of children. He applied to the William E. Doar Public Charter School for the Performing Arts and became their visual arts teacher. p> In November of 2008, Holloway Ventures along with WEDJ completed its first theatrical stage production of "The 3 Friends and The Flood" to rave reviews. Using Pre-K and Kindergarten students no older than 5, the two shows went over flawlessly. Offers poured in and in 2008, the company partnered again with WEDJ PCS Performing Arts School and in 2009 it contracted Huemation Productions to complete several stage plays and exhibitions by 2011.
Randall began concentrating on Visual Arts Integration of Academic subjects in 2009 and visual arts performances. He developed a curriculum that focused on reading comprehension and mathematic division in his classes. Students embraced the concept and The Visual Arts & Academics Institute was born. The Institute opened its doors for the afterschool and summer program in July 2011. That same year Holloway produced his first children’s book along with a performance for the book called The Dark Brown Caterpillar. The show received rave reviews and went on tour that year.
