Elizabeth Myers
Mitchell Art Museum
Asking persistent and timely questions about the human experience, through art and with extraordinary artists.
Now on View: Polly Apfelbaum: Sampling a Sampler Sampling
This exhibition consists of a single artwork created by the artist onsite from fabric remnants and samples she purchased in Manhattan’s Garment District. It asks such questions as, “What is painting?” “What is order?” “What is originality?” and finally, “What do we look down on?”

News & Highlights
2023 by the Numbers
In the ten months we were open, /m presented 7 exhibitions, exhibited 129 artworks by 66 artists, hosted 72 events (receptions, talks, workshops, performances, screenings, and tours), brought 17 world-class artists, curators, educators, and musicians to Annapolis from Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, and Washington, DC, and wrote a 36-page strategic plan. (We also ate more than we should have and drank 10 gallons of homemade Mexican ponche—not the kind pictured here!)
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.
