    Woodworker by Trade, Artist by Choice

    The work of BSA alumnus William Rhodes was recently selected to become part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s new National Museum of African American History and Culture. The Baltimore Sun recently profiled Mr. Rhodes for this tremendous accomplishment:

    “On a recent bright November morning, William Rhodes relaxed at the West Baltimore home of his friend and fellow artist, Joyce J. Scott.

    As the pair chatted about art and life, sunlight streamed into the artfully decorated living room, softly illuminating an intricately carved wooden bookcase accented with hues of red and gold. While its glass shelves are functional, the overall look is somehow mysterious, mythical.

    That’s by design.”
