The Seattle Pacific Art Center Gallery is proud to announce its upcoming exhibition INVISIBLE AND UNWELCOMED PEOPLE, a suite of watercolor sketches by artist Zhi Lin. In a series of haunting images rendered in Chinese ink, Lin records sites where Chinese immigrants worked, suffered and died in their quest to complete America's First Transcontinental Railroad (finished 1869).

INVISIBLE AND UNWELCOMED PEOPLE is accompanied by the educational exhibition ART IN CONTEXT: BUILDING THE RAILWAY, BUILDING THE IMAGE, mounted by Seattle Pacific University Art History students.

Both exhibitions run September 22 - October 17. An artist talk and reception will take place Wednesday, October 8 at 6:00pm.
