Fallen Fruit: Fruitique!
This art installation/ thrift store is part of Arts ReSTORE LA: Westwood. Everything is fruit themed within the space including the wallpaper, numerous thrift store finds and even the music playing (Cherry Bomb was on when I was there- although that may have been coincidence). They are also planning fruit related activities throughout the event.
Fallen Fruit is an art collaboration originally conceived by David Burns, Matias Viegener, and Austin Young.

They are also part of the Ojai Art Festival this weekend.
