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…
Life Work Balance (2024)
Artist: Lorie Caval (@lorie_caval_studio)
Lorie Caval is a New York City-based contemporary painter. Her practice explores the intersections between spirituality, personal power, dreaming and identity. Her recent series of acrylic paintings are influenced by 20th century Abstract Expressionism and Spiritual Abstraction while also pushing forth into contemporary themes and aesthetics through playful color palettes. Lorie’s paintings have been shown in various group exhibitions at galleries such as Trotter & Sholer, Upstream Gallery, The Living Gallery, and Art Gotham SoHo in 2024.
This installation invites viewers to consider their responsibilities, joys, passions, and purpose. Specifically, it asks:
What balls are you juggling—and are there any that you’re ready to drop?
