ARRIVAL INSTRUCTIONS

Putting this address into a GPS will drop you off at the entrance to our building, which is not the main entrance to the NAVEL space. Our entrance is located on the opposite side of the building, in the alleyway located between the two buildings on our site.

COVID-19 POLICY AND POLICIES

The safety of our guests, staff, and Los Angeles community is our first concern. Under current Los Angeles City Covid-19 restrictions, we are able to return to regular operations and full capacity in our space. However, Covid-19 is not over, especially for those that are not vaccinated. We encourage our guests to get vaccinated and to review Los Angeles County’s COVID-19 Guidance for Event Venues & Cultural Institutions. Additional guidance can be found from the City of Los Angeles here.

Our current COVID policy:

  1. Masks are optional for those who are fully vaccinated. Vaccination status must be proven via physical or digital vax card + matching photo ID before entering the space. We will work together with all rental clients to establish a system to check for vaccine status at entry.

  2. Masks are required indoors, except when eating or drinking, for unvaccinated guests or guests who cannot prove their vaccination status.

  3. We recommend those who are working at an event wear a high filtration mask (KN94, KN95 or N95) during their shifts, however they are not required. If you would like our staff to remain masked during your event, please notify us when confirming your booking details or send a reminder to space@navel.la.

  4. If you are feeling sick or have a cough/fever, please get tested and join us another time. 

Please note these policies are subject to change depending on current COVID conditions and local government guidance. The onsite manager for your booking will review current policies and practices prior to your event or production.
