"When I think about places to buy art, there are galleries and Art Basel and okay, let&amp;#x27;s be honest, Bed Bath &amp;amp; Beyond (hey, at least I don&amp;#x27;t have a futon anymore!), but I never quite considered Sunglass Hut. That is, until I found out they&amp;#x27;ll have an incredibly cool artist in-store this Friday, hand painting frames for charity. Nicaraguan artist Chris Mendoza, whose work is about &amp;quot;the density and chaos of urban life,&amp;quot; will be at the Soho Sunglass Hut in New York on Friday afternoon, painting classic Ray Ban Wayfarers and chatting with everyone who comes to buy them. 25% of the proceeds will go to Give the Gift of Sight, a charity that provides glasses and eye care to people in need. Head over there between 1pm and 5pm this Friday to meet Chris and score some customized shades (they even come with a signed and numbered case!), or pick them up online starting December 3 at sunglasshut.com.
