Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Bill Rhoades is a collector of Northwest Art, residing in Central Oregon. He is a native Oregonian and outdoors-man. Rhoades' interest in art collecting includes American Indian basketry and modern Northwest prints and paintings. In 1997, he made arrangements with Roger Hull, Professor Emeritus of Art History at Willamette University, to begin making donations of art to the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. His donations include works by Jack McLarty, Coralee Popp, John Stahl and Manuel Izquierdo. Rhoades' goal in 1997 was to donate at least 100 works of art to the Hallie Ford Museum. By 2005 he had already accomplished and exceeded that goal.
