Have you looked through THE LENS? ⁠
⁠
Part of l.a.Eyeworks' new retail campus on Fairfax Avenue, THE LENS is our ultra-flexible satellite space of surprises; a free-ranging frame for our expanding takes on the concept of vision. ⁠
⁠
By turns, THE LENS is a dreamy emporium of fantastic finds (hand-carved French bird calls, anyone?), an occasional event and exhibition space, and a quirky clubhouse where we can nurture our dreams of Uncensored Visions. ⁠
⁠
Swing by, pop in, and maybe drop out for a few: Monday-Saturday, 10AM - 6PM. And say hello to THE LENS conductor, Jose Lemus (slide 9), while you're there . . . and watch out for Little Enid!⁠
⁠
* FREE PARKING on site during regular business hours (entrance on the Willoughby side). *⁠
