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.

Cathedral of New York in Jamaica during a gun buyback event on Saturday, June 14. The weapons were exchanged for bank cards pre-loaded with cash, with no identification required and no questions asked.

“Gun buybacks serve as a critical tool for reducing gun violence and promoting public safety within our communities,” Katz said. “This Saturday, working with the NYPD and clergy leaders in Jamaica, we received 74 surrendered guns — including five automatic weapons. As a result, these firearms will not be used to cause heartache and tragedy.”
