Little Window Gallery
About
Sunnyside's Little Window Gallery is one way that the new Episcopal Mission in Sunnyside is seeking to offer the All Saints building and garden as a blessing to the whole neighborhood. Housed in a window box formerly used for signage, this experiment seeks: to build community, to foster delight, to generate accessible, local conversation about the big questions art opens up, and to celebrate and support the work of local artists.
Are you a local artist?
We welcome submissions from amateur and professional artists at this link. Artists will be compensated for up to $100—we'll display your work for a month, and then give it away to a neighbor.

In the Window Right Now…
Cross section of the earth underground #3
Artist: Michelle Wey
Michelle Wey is an artist and attorney who has lived in Sunnyside since 2018. She loves this neighborhood, especially the community garden and compost site on 45th Street. Michelle likes to paint abstract forms and landscapes that are somehow familiar or recognizable but not really definable. She likes oil paint because it lends itself to slow painting.
This work is part of a series made after the collapse of the World Trade Center, imagining the depth of life that persists under the earth, even after death.
Which raises the question…
What do you think happens after life?
