Art in the Library

Artist(s) of the Month: P.O.W. Group and Wesley Klehm

Artist Statement: P.O.W. 

We are a small group of artists who are passionate in our art and are excited to share with our community.  Our purpose is to help our community heal through art! Art is a universal language and our mission is to use the language of art to heal families, friends, communities and most of ourselves. The P.O.W  Artists exhibit at least three times a year as a group, while individual members participate in shows with other local artists. The group is engaged in several charitable community events. The P.O.W  Artists created an art heals movement in 2012, "The Journey to Recovery: Art Heals." This is a month long exhibition of artworks and inspirational writings explaining how art heals us mentally, emotionally and physically. A number of local small businesses and art enthusiasts contribute.

Artist Statement: Wesley Klehm 

I am a professional programmer specializing in supporting the website for our family business that helps aspiring therapists study for their licensing exam. By day, I code, while by night, I indulge in my passion for amateur astronomy, exploring the wonders of the night sky. Traveling with my family is one of my favorite activities so we can explore new places and cultures . In my leisure time, I am usually working on astrophotography or immersing myself in the virtual worlds of video games. Beyond these pursuits, I also enjoy scuba diving and going to the gym.

Show Your Art in the Library

Maitland Public Library presents exhibits by local and regional artists on a monthly basis. Past exhibits include the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild, Robin Van Arsdol, the late Johann Eyfells, Lindy Elmore Art, and Chris Carr Fine Art. The library has a hook and chain system available in display areas appropriate for gallery ready art (frame with eyehooks or wires on the back as appropriate). Artwork may only be hung on specific walls in the Library. The artist installs the exhibit on the first of the month and removes the exhibit on the last day of the month.

We’ll be happy to answer your questions. Please send us: 

  • 2-3 jpeg examples of your artwork (or a link to your website)
  • a brief artist’s statement
