The 2009 Scientific Assembly will feature the newest installment of ACEP’s Artistic Expressions.

This gallery of visual artwork and creative writing from ACEP members was first included in the Scientific Assembly program in 2005, and has been a highlight of the Assembly ever since.

It will be open in the Exhibit Hall, in the ACEP Resource Center, on October 5-7 during show hours.

The gallery is organized and hosted by the ACEP Section of Medical Humanities.

New this year will be a CD signing component. Musician Dr. Liz Mitchell will be available to sign copies of her new CD, “Not the Whether of Summer.”

For those interested in submitting artwork or creative writing to the gallery, an application form is available on the ACEP Section of Medical Humanities Web site: www.acep.org/acepmembership.aspx?id=30252.

For more information, contact 2009 Artistic Expressions Chair Seth C. Hawkins at hawk@aya.yale.edu.

The Section of Medical Humanities is also organizing ACEP’s fourth Open Mic Night/Concert for Scientific Assembly. We are seeking musicians, dancers, poets, and actors interested in sharing their talents.

Do you play an instrument? Interested in joining an ACEP ensemble or orchestra rather than a solo act?

Anyone interested in performing, joining other musicians, or volunteering for set up, please contact Dr. Liz Mitchell at emitchel@bu.edu.
