Join LAVA<\/span> for our second free monthly Sunday Salon since November 2011<\/a>. We return to South Broadway, to the mezzanine of Les Noces du Figaro<\/a>, which was recently opened by the family behind Figaro Bistro<\/a> in Los Feliz. This handsome space was formerly Schaber\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Cafeteria<\/a> (Charles F. Plummer, 1928), and the mezzanine features wonderful views of the Los Angeles Theatre<\/a>.<\/p>\n On the last Sunday of each month , LAVA<\/span> welcomes interested individuals to gather in downtown Los Angeles (noon-2pm), for a loosely structured conversational Salon featuring short presentations and opportunities to meet and connect with one another. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re interested in joining LAVA<\/span> as a creative contributor or an attendee, we recommend Salon attendance as an introduction to this growing community. We also recommend the eclairs.<\/p>\n Read about the original Sunday Salon at Clifton’s Cafeteria here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Salon will be broken into two distinct presentations each lasting about 45 minutes. You are encouraged to arrive early<\/strong> if you wish to order food and beverages from the counter downstairs, and bring your meal upstairs. <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n Presentation One:<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Oviatt Building scholar Marc Chevalier will give a lecture with accompanying slide show on the life and times of James Oviatt. Topics will include Oviatt’s eponymous building<\/a>, his contributions to the Art Deco in Los Angeles, his fashionable haberdashery Alexander & Oviatt, myths, legends and the even more fascinating reality. Oviatt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s arc is a microcosm of the upwardly mobile in Jazz Age Los Angeles, and his story touches almost every major aspect of culture and commerce in pre-war Los Angeles. <\/p>\n
