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.

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…
Cocoon
Artist: Cristián Pietrapana
Originally from Buenos Aires, Cristián Pietrapiana (@cristianpietrapiana) lives and works in New York City. His work has been exhibited widely, and explores the vulnerability of human nature and its environment. In the last few years he has incorporated the urgency of climate change into his practice, organizing exhibitions and workshops in order to create awareness inviting viewers to take action.
