Little Window Gallery
In the Window Right Now…
Fallen Angel of Hope
Artist: Alberta Maineri-Burke
Alberta Maineri-Burke (@artsy_alberta) is a self-taught emerging collage artist and amateur photographer. She loves photographing the people closest to her as well as urban and natural settings. Her interest in collaging first started when she designed a hands-on art class for young artists, focused on using natural and recycled items. Alberta lives in Astoria, Queens with her husband and her two children. Through her art, she hopes to express her views, experiences, and sense of community in an environmentally sustainable medium.
Her (seasonally appropriate!) photograph invites the question:
What do you think about angels?
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.

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.
