Anniston, AL – The Anniston Public Library is currently showcasing a special art exhibit, “Remembering Peg Tyler: Legacy in Art,” honoring the life and creativity of the late local artist Peg Tyler. The exhibit, which runs through October, offers a unique opportunity to explore the diverse and previously undiscovered body of work left behind by this passionate artist.
