ART COLLECTION
The Art Collection’s emphasis is on art from the Pacific Northwest,but includes examples of American art from the middle of the 19th century to the present. The focus of the collection is on works by Northwest artists and the Museum makes a concerted effort to both support and collect contemporary regional artists’ works. The collection includes works by early Northwest painters, Sydney Laurence (1865-1940) and James Everett Stuart, (1852-1941) to works by the Northwest Mystics who attracted national attention to the Pacific Northwest, including Mark Tobey (1890-1976), Morris Graves (1910-2001), Kenneth Callahan (1905-1986) and Guy Anderson (1906-1998).
