A series of black-and-white photographs by artist Tiffany McPeak is on exhibit at Aust Hall Art Gallery on the East Mississippi Community College’s Scooba campus. McPeak is a graphic designer at Naval Air Station Meridian, and teaches art classes at EMCC and Mississippi State University. An ongoing project, the photo series takes a look at objects usually considered “ugly” – but which reveal unexpected depths through the viewfinder of McPeak’s camera. The artist is inspired by her emotions, and thoughts of the world in which we live: “I see the beauty in things we discard.” The exhibit, called “White Trash,” will culminate with a reception Oct. 20, from 3:30 p.m. until 5 p.m. McPeak attended MSU and the University of Memphis. A resident of Meridian since 2007, McPeak’s work has been exhibited at the Meridian Museum of Art, the University of Memphis and other art venues. EMCC’s Aust Hall is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m., and Friday from 8 a.m. until noon. For more information, call (662) 476-5133 or (662) 476-5136. Picasa 3.0

Peavey restores sound at Meridian’s Temple Theater
Hartley Peavey’s mission to restore the sound of Meridian’s historic Hamasa Shrine Temple Theater to its former glory is more than just a professional challenge. It’s personal.
His grandfather, Joseph Lane Peavey, was very active in the Hamasa Shriners — his name is even engraved on the Moorish Revival theater’s cornerstone. Like Hartley Peavey, J.L. Peavey was an entrepreneur and an inventor with patents to his credit. Hartley Peavey inherited his collection of hand tools when he passed in 1955, and two years later used those tools to build the first Peavey guitar amplifier. Hartley Peavey’s music and sound products company has since earned more than 180 patents around the world for its innovations.
