Raffle Drawing
Silent Auction
Live Auction Heart Art: The Vesalius Trust asked about 2 dozen medical illustrators to prepare a small signed works of art of the human heart. Each heart image is an 8 inch by 8 inch original painting, drawing, doodle, cartoon, etc. (black & white or color) that will then be framed up with others as composite groups. The rendering technique was completely up to each of the artists. The Veslaius Trust will make up several of these large framed composites (each approximately 16" x 24") for auction at the upcoming AMI meeting in August. Proceeds will go to the Vesalius Trust scholarship fund for the students. Click here to see details
Part of the Live Auction includes the rip-roaring and somewhat ribald T-Shirt Auction. This event is an all-out boisterous bidding war for original (sometimes very unique) T-shirts, designed and illustrated by faculty members (or alumni) of one of our schools of medical illustration. The T-shirts are modeled for the audience by student volunteers, and the young and old graduates from each school pool their respective contributions as a group in order to advance their school's shirt in the auction ranking. In the past, T-shirt designs have included depictions of large southern cockroaches, as well as designs of a more anatomical nature. The school's T-shirt that receives the highest total pledged amount from the audience is designated the winner. A representative from the "winning" school has the privilege of selecting first from the prizes for this event that are given to the school. A designee for the second place T-shirt gets second choice and so on. The individual bidder receives the pleasure of supporting both their favorite school and the Trust. Proceeds of the Vesalius Trust Raffle and Auctions continue to allow the Trust to support the AMI annual meeting and to fund numerous annual Vesalius Trust scholarships.

Other than the cuisine and wine, there were many great reasons for the trip. Andreas Vesalius of Brussels, namesake of the Vesalius Trust, studied medicine at the Univeristˇ de Paris from 1533 to 1536. Vesalius, like other med students, is believed to have learned his anatomy by reading Galen and visiting the abattoirs and boucheries of Paris. Among the many relevant sights we would see are the catacombs, the morphology lab at the Beaux-Arts, and the national anatomy museums...
