INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana University School of Medicine students will soon trade their stethoscopes for the spotlight in an annual program that benefits the city’s homeless.

The annual Evening of the Arts showcases students’ music, dance and stage-skit and talents in a variety of acts. Medical faculty, residents and staff also will perform. The curtain will rise at 7:30 p.m., Friday, March 28,at the University Place Conference Center auditorium on the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis campus.

Artwork and photography produced by the medical students will be on display and sold that evening at a silent auction.

Proceeds from the event are used to purchase medical equipment and supplies for Indianapolis-area homeless clinics. IU medical students and residents often volunteer their time to help provide patient care as part of the IU School of Medicine's Health and Homelessness Project.

Tickets for Evening of the Arts are $8 each and may be purchased at the door. The University Place Conference Center auditorium is located at 850 West Michigan Street.
