The Zepf Center celebrates the opening of its A.R.T. Gallery on Thursday January 15, 2009 with an open house from 6pm to 8pm at 6605 W. Central Ave., Toledo. The A.R.T Gallery (Artists in Recovery and Treatment) displays artwork created by Zepf Center clients.

“We are excited to be able to share these great works of art and honored that our consumers have allowed us to showcase their talents,” said Jennifer Moses, Chief Executive Officer for Zepf Center, a non-profit organization that provides services for Lucas County adults with severe and persistent mental health disorders.

The center is named for Elizabeth A. Zepf, a staunch advocate for individuals with mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. Mrs. Zepf was dedicated to each person's right to receive quality care, regardless of his or her ability to pay.
