The Art of Medicine! 2025

The Student Interest Group for Music and the Arts' (SIGMA) visual art exhibition The Art of Medicine! returns after a years-long hiatus on February 21, 2025 at 4 pm in the CALS Atrium.

The exhibition provides an opportunity to showcase the creative talent of medical school students, faculty and staff. This event is organized by LSU School of Medicine L4 Class President Jonathan Legier and SIGMA Vice President Joe Starns.

Live music provided by: Hope Bernier, Annelise Henry, Matthew Herrera, Samantha Seetharama, Ryan Smith, and Joe Starns.

About SIGMA: Student Interest Group for Music and the Arts is a group of medical students with a passion for things other than the hard sciences. Members are dancers, musicians, DJs, painters, poets and everything in between. Events are usually a good balance between an escape from school and a fundraiser for various charities. Past beneficiaries have included Camp Tiger, Make Music NOLA, Operation SMILE, and the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic.
