The Bill Rhoades Northwest Art Archive is a collection of artifacts, interviews, photographs and printed materials from a wide variety of Northwest artists. Bill Rhoades has been an advocate for Northwest Art since before 1997, when he began donating collected artworks to the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. In addition to collecting and donating artwork, Rhoades has collected printed materials, interviews, artifacts, and correspondence that highlight Northwest artists and their work. This Archive includes the work of Northwest sculptors, painters, printmakers, and photographers. Also included are newsletters and exhibition materials from institutions such as the Portland Art Museum, the Fountain Gallery of Art and the Seattle Art Dealers Association. Along with the representation of Northwest art, are photographs and correspondence with Rhoades and his family and friends covering topics of dogs, travel, and hunting.
