Asking persistent and timely questions about the human experience, through art and with extraordinary artists
In the Main Gallery — UNBURIAL. A Project by Miguel Braceli
September 12–December 6, 2026
The Question: How do we embody our freedom?
UNBURIAL sees the Annapolis Liberty Tree’s absence on St. John’s College’s front lawn as an opportunity for learning and reflection. With community partners, artist Miguel Braceli fills the void with celebrations that probe what freedom means today.
Presented in collaboration with Annapolis Pride, Historic Annapolis, and the Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs. Major funding for this project was provided by Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Area.
In the Videodrome — Surveilled or Seen: Sinew of Trust in the Video of Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis
September 12–December 6, 2026
The Question: What is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed?
This exhibition presents two seminal pieces of video artwork: Marina Abramović’s Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999). Each work explores what it costs us to trust each other — and how important it is that we do.
Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.
News & Highlights
Welcome to the Videodrome
In November 2025, /m launched the VIDEODROME: a custom-built, micro-space for historic artist film and video. The space presents both ongoing installations and occasional screenings. It was conceived and is curated by Jenny Cawood, /m’s Manager of Artistic Inquiry, and made possible through a Strategic Impact Grant from the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County.
Marking a Milestone: /m Turns 50
The St. John’s College Art Gallery was born in 1975 in a former science lab on the 2nd floor of Mellon Hall. Fourteen years later, we moved into our current facility. We are collecting memories: please send us a recollection of your favorite exhibition via email to .

A New Name, a New Identity
We entered 2023 with a new name: Elizabeth Myers Mitchell Art Museum. By replacing “gallery” with “museum” we celebrate of our longstanding accreditation (since 2012) by the American Alliance of Museums. Our new lettermark, /m, uses the language of subdomains to underscore the museum’s relationship to its host, St. John’s College.
