HILLEL AT UCLA ART EXHIBITIONS 

Three art exhibitions are on display at Hillel at UCLA. “Seek My Face: The Art of Joshua Meyer, 2000-2016” features the work of Lubbock, Texas-born oil painter Joshua Meyer. He went to school at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem before attending Yale University. He currently works in Cambridge, Mass. Every painting he makes is “intentionally Jewish,” he says. The exhibition “WINGS” features the works of Harriet Zeitlin, who earned a bachelor’s degree at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Later, she studied printmaking at UCLA and photography at Santa Monica College. She has been an artist for six decades, and has had 25 solo shows and exhibited in more than 100 group shows. The exhibition “The German Roots of Zionism” explores the dream of refuge from anti-Semitism, freedom from despots, and a place for Jewish religion and culture to flourish. 10 a.m to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday. Through Dec. 9. Free. 574 Hilgard Ave., Los Angeles. (310) 208-3081, ext. 108. TUES | NOV 29
