A group of Sunnyside and Woodside artists is holding its seventh annual art fair this Sunday.

The event, organized by SunnysideArtists.org, will take place at the Queen of Angels parish hall–which is located on the corner of 44th Street and Skillman Avenue. The event–officially called the Queen of Angels Art Fair VII– is held each year in June. Typically about 1,000 people attend.

About 35 artists are expected to exhibit their work at this year’s event, where they will set up tables to display and sell their art between 12:00 pm and 5 pm.

Artists will include regulars, such as Mihai Stancescu, offering oil tempera on board; Betty-Ann Hogan, an oil painter; and Ellen Mandelbaum, a stained glass artist. Among the new faces will be Gilly Gil-Lugo, an art teacher and illustrator.

Furthermore, Trevor Sparks and Emily O’Leary, who both work at the new art store Artists and Craftsman Supply, will exhibit their work.

The event will include food provided by Murphy’s Lobster Grill and Bliss 46 Bistro.

Op-ed | New York’s ground lease co-ops: Our families can’t wait any longer 

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
