SUN | DEC 7

JACOB EBRIANI & JENIK COOK GALLERY OPENING

Spice up your Sunday with a little artistic flair. American Art Award winners Jacob Ebriani and Jenik Cook are showcasing their masterpieces to the public. Ebriani chooses to make art a spiritual act — a sur-naturalist, his technique transcends surrealism. A poet as well, Ebriani works in mediums that include oils, sketches and prints. Cook, who fits most accurately into the abstract-expressionist genre, creates movement with color and color with movement in her paintings. The pair will present their art together for a textured and unique exhibition. Sun. 2 p.m. Free. 14721 Oxnard St., Van Nuys. (310) 877-7707.

JOHN SAFRAN

Perhaps it’s easier for an outsider to reveal the complexities and leveled horror of race and race crimes in the South, even someone as outsider as a young, white, Jewish-Australian documentarian. In his new book, “God’ll Cut You Down: The Tangled Tale of a White Supremacist, a Black Hustler, a Murder, and How I Lost a Year in Mississippi,” Safran chronicles what ultimately became his own odd investigation into the 2010 murder of notorious white supremacist Richard Barrett by a young Black man named Vincent McGee. What unfolds is a haunting, hilarious story about the American South from an outsider’s point of view. Mon. 7 p.m. Free. 8818 W. Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood. (310) 659-3110. WED | DEC 10

ISRAELI GAP FAIR

Is it next year in Jerusalem? Or Tel Aviv? Or Netanya? Yeshiva High Tech’s second annual Israeli Gap Fair is an opportunity for upcoming high-school graduates to figure that out.

This event is geared toward juniors and seniors but is open to everyone in the community, so if you know a soon-to-be graduate, or are a soon-to-be graduate with thoughts of the Holy Land, check it out. Mon. 7 p.m. Free. Yeshiva High Tech, 5555 W. Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles. (310) 556-0663. THU | DEC 11

SUSSAN DEYHIM

This renowned vocalist, composer and performance artist has a new solo exhibition of mixed-media installations. “Dawn of the Cold Season” is a multilevel artistic journey that will showcase Deyhim’s saturated photographs, videos, haunting vocals and music. Inspired by Forough Farrokhzad — the 1950s Iranian literary heroine — Deyhim explores potent feminist existential poetry. A recent artist-in-residence at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Deyhim creates works that are fully realized and wholly unique. Enjoy a ticketed performance by Deyhim tonight as she brings her exhibition to life. Thu. 7 p.m. Free. Must RSVP. Exhibition through Jan. 10. Shulamit Gallery, 17 N. Venice Blvd., Venice. (310) 281-0961. FRI | DEC 12
