James E. Lewis Museum of Art
James E. Lewis Museum of Art (JELMA) is the visual arts cultural extension for Morgan State University’s fine arts and academic program. Developed to enhance the scholastic experience of Morgan students and the community’s exposure to works of art, JELMA provides opportunities to experience exhibitions, programs, and presentations.
The museum features work by artists at all levels of their careers, from students to established, world-renowned practitioners. The JELMA collection comprises art from the Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania, dating from the 9th century to the present.
The wide range of disciplines represented includes painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, photography, mixed media and printmaking. JELMA is Maryland’s premier museum for African and Black diaspora art.
In addition to Morgan students, faculty and staff, JELMA exhibitions and events are free and open to the public, and accessible to everyone.
