Night of the Arts is an event organized by the Student Run Free Clinics organization at the University of Texas Health Science Center Medical School in San Antonio, TX. The event features art and performances by medical students, community members and established art professionals.

Proceeds from this event will benefit the following Student-Run Free Clinics: At SAMMinistries we care for homeless children and families in transitional housing. At Alpha Home we serve women undergoing substance abuse treatment. At Travis Park United Methodist Church we provide dermatology services to the homeless. At Haven for Hope we provide screening and basic care to residents of Prospects Courtyard.

Student-Run Free Clinic Program is a collaborative effort of medical students, residents, and faculty from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas in partnership with several community partners including the Alpha Home and San Antonio Metropolitan Ministries (SAMMinistries). Medical students & residents gain vital experience in primary care medicine, public health, community service, and administration of health care while giving to others.

The clinic serves as a unique educational setting where students learn from their peers, mentors and their patients. The care provided to the community is greatly needed and warmly appreciated.
