Exhibit is good medicine for the eyes

An exhibit of works by 23 artists known for their proficiency in the art of healing opens tonight at the Toledo Museum of Art Community Gallery with a reception from 6:30 to 8.

The annual “Physician as Artist” exhibit will display 60 paintings, photographs, and drawings by 22 physicians, and a dentist, Milo Danzeisen.

Sponsored by the Academy of Medicine, the nonjuried exhibit draws on the artistic talents of such physicians as A. Arthur Mancini, a urologist who paints; Donna Woodson, a family practitioner who is showing paintings and photographs, and nephrologist Ronald Shapiro, exhibiting painting, digital photos, and computer art.

The exhibit can be seen through Dec. 5, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday and Saturday; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free.
