An art auction fundraising event where medical students, dental
students, health professionals and doctors from Edmonton’s
hospitals take off their white coats to raise money and awareness
for international health projects.
Once a year in the space of a month, a group of health workers pose
nude for 21 local talented artists. Art pieces in diverse mediums
celebrating the human body are then donated by each artist to be
auctioned off at the main event. This year there will be more than
50 pieces up for auction. Proceeds will support Change for Children's
helath project in El Salvador and IMHIS.
Artists donating this year are:
