Elevate Yourself

The Elevator Gallery

It’s a busy world. Time is money. Life is short. Leisure is a precious commodity.

And deciding what to do with yours is no small matter. Shopping? Gallery hopping? Antiquing? Illegal cockfighting? It’s so hard to choose.

At the new Elevator Gallery in Venice, you don’t have to. A combination of an art gallery, boutique, flower shop, and furniture and antique store, it’s a one-stop fun zone for those who take leisure seriously. Its first art show, “The Playground,” features photographs by Bunni Lezak. Designers currently available include Desanka, Pegah Anvarian, Mon Petit Oiseau, and Kaviar Jewelry. Bring a friend, a parent, or even a date. With so many cool things to choose from, there’s something for everyone.

Well, almost. No cockfighting yet.

Elevator Gallery, 55 North Venice Boulevard, between Pacific Avenue and Speedway (310-306-7020).
