The Mitchell Gallery supports and applauds the statement issued to the students by the St. John's College presidents.
Subject: A Message from the Presidents
The following message was sent to all students today.
Dear Students -
We continue to be heartbroken by the inhumane killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and too many others, and by the deep pain and division we’re seeing across the country. Our sorrow is twofold. We feel sadness for our deeply divided nation, which cannot seem to find common ground upon which to move forward. And we feel sorrow for every African American who experiences the kind of fear that the rest of us could never imagine: of being harmed by those who are meant to protect us for doing the simple, everyday things that the rest of us take for granted.
At St. John’s we are guided by The Statement of the Program which speaks directly to college's ambitions. “These liberal arts enable all human beings to know the world around them and to know themselves in this world, and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under the guidance of these arts, they can free themselves from the constraint of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, they can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals.”
We spend enormous amounts of time asking how to create a just society and how to live lives of virtue. And then, as individuals, we struggle with how to take these ideas and actualize them in our own lives and world. Each of us will have different answers to these questions, and different ways of bringing these principles to life. Some protest and some pray, but all of us must grapple with, and address, the most difficult questions we face. This is good, and as it should be: this is the beauty of our Program and of our democracy.
For those of you who are joining in protests across the country: please be safe and peaceful; please embrace non-violent forms of protest as you work in your own individual ways to grapple with injustice and to actualize the principles that we value here at St. John's. For those of you who are praying: please pray for all of us to find peace and understanding with one another and to heal our hurts and divisions.
And to our students, staff, and tutors of color, many of whom have raised your voices over the last few days, we want you to know that we support, hear, value, and recognize you: your lives and your voices matter deeply to us. We also know that we have more work to do: as a country, as a human race, and as a St. John's community.
Our very best,
Mark Roosevelt and Pano Kanelos
“When this spectacular dress was made in the 1890s, the Western Sioux or Lakota people had been forced to adjust to life on the reservation, in which many activities that used to make life meaningful were no longer possible. Only the women were able to maintain some of their traditional occupations. Fully beaded girl’s dresses are very rare; this dress was probably intended to bring prestige to a respected family. The hoof-shaped design element in the center of the yoke represents the turtle, symbol of life, and in that connection the blue background stood for water. However, by the late 19th century, women were as concerned with the aesthetic effect of their work as with the old symbolism. Aesthetic concerns stimulated the unusual covering of the skirt with beadwork. The mid-section of the dress has been left open and would have been covered with a decorative belt. The use of the American flag as a design element may be interpreted as a relevant symbolism event though the stars in the traditional canton are replaced by a single morning star; American flags had come to be associated with the only celebrations that were still allowed by governments agents.” --Art of the North American Indians published by Fenimore Art Museum, 2nd Edition edited by Eva Fognell, Curator.

Art speaks to the human soul. In return, we listen with wonder and awe.
For 30 years, the Mitchell Gallery has shared that voice by bringing a rich array of internationally recognized art to the Annapolis community at no cost to the public.
In light of the Covid-19 situation and concurrent with the policies of the College, the Mitchell Gallery is closed for the remainder of the 2019-2020 exhibition season.
We hope you enjoy these photos and images from the past thirty years.

May you have a reflective day. Memorial Day we remember and honor all those who served and died to protect our freedoms.
Why does art matter? “We’ve been creating art for much longer than recorded history.”

Mitchell Gallery Presents Digital Presentations and Virtual Tours of American Indian Art from the Fenimore Art Museum: The Thaw Collection as of May 19, 2020
American Indian Art from the Fenimore Art Museum at the Mitchell Gallery, St. John’s College
ANNAPOLIS, MD – The Mitchell Gallery announces opportunities for virtual views and exploration of the current exhibition, “American Indian Art from the Fenimore Art Museum: The Thaw Collection.” One can enjoy both “Armchair Virtual Tours” with digital presentations and Zoom virtual tours with Art Educator Lucinda Edinberg.
The exhibition features 44 pieces of American Indian art spanning nearly two millenniums. With objects including sculptures, paintings, drawings, basketry, textiles, ceramics, and other media, the exhibition represents the varying aesthetic traditions of North America’s native peoples. To see the digital “Armchair Virtual Tours” presentations, visit the Mitchell Gallery’s Facebook or Instagram page. To schedule a Zoom virtual tour with Art Educator Lucinda Edinberg, email: [email protected]. Minimum of eight per group.
The oldest object in the collection dates back to approximately 100-600 A.D.—a carved Ipiutak polar bear figure made out of sea mammal ivory—while more recent pieces include a 19th-century cowhide war record commemorating a battle between the Lakota and Crow. Other works include painted ceramics and weavings from Hopi and Diné (Navajo) artists, as well as a leather-bound drawing book by the artist Black Hawk (San Arcs Sioux) that contains 76 striking illustrations. Housed under one roof and joined together by region in the context of Native American history, the objects on display in the Mitchell Gallery form a stunning, powerful exhibition.
Art Educator Lucinda Edinberg provides virtual presentations on the collection and its collectors, Eugene and Clare Thaw. Eugene Thaw graduated from St. John’s College in 1947 before embarking on a prolific career as an art historian, collector, philanthropist, and scholar. In addition to cultivating an outstanding collection of Native American art and rare works by Goya, Van Gogh, and more, Thaw served on the architectural advisory committee for the Mitchell Gallery and generously offered item from his collection for three separate Mitchell Gallery exhibition.
Eugene and Clare Thaw donated their American Indian art collection to the Fenimore Art Museum in 1995; since then, the collection has grown to include a vast array of new pieces added by the Thaws and other donors. The Fenimore Art Museum states: “Each new object reaffirms the Thaws’ commitment to the beauty and artistry of American Indian art, and thus strengthens the philosophical foundation of the collection: that the aesthetic power of American Indian art is equivalent to that from any culture.”

“Since virtual celebrations have become the new normal, please consider this an enthusiastic shout out to Katharine “Casey” Crossman Pingle, retiring chair of the Board of Advisors of The Mitchell Gallery at St. John’s College.
Through her eight years of leadership as chair and 23 years of active involvement on the board, Casey has inspired and increased the public’s awareness of the gallery. Leading with imagination and insight, she helped increase the number of intergenerational members, patrons and visitors.
While personally supporting the gallery and its excellent exhibitions and special events, as the gallery’s arts ambassador, Casey championed its art and educational resources through advocacy on Maryland Arts Day and with active collaboration with other arts organizations in Anne Arundel County.
Both the Mitchell Gallery and St. John’s College have benefited thanks to this dedicated, creative and visionary thinker and doer. Through Casey’s leadership, the gallery has been kept open and free to the greater Annapolis community.
Well done and thank you, Madame Ambassador.”
