Mixed-media artist Cheryll Leo-Gwin creates an ongoing series of new work based on the effects of the US Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 on women and their families in the US and China. Through her artwork, Cheryll provides a glimpse into a long forgotten piece of history and draws connections between Chinese and American women of the time and of today.

The glass, aluminum and concrete museum, designed by Steven Holl with plenty of terraces, atriums and gathering places, opened in October 2000.The museum presents contemporary art exhibitions of local, national and international artists who demonstrate complex perspectives. Shows and community forums are designed to promote dialogue on complicated subjects like identity and ethnicity. Every summer, the museum holds a prestigious Art Fair, with more than 300 artists and 300,000 visitors.By Paysha StocktonSpecial to NWsource
