About this event

  • Event lasts 30 minutes

Upside Down Gallery's art team leads free and short discussions about its current exhibition, "Tikkun Olam".


About the Art:

All of us, at one time or another have felt the nagging sense that the world we encounter today is not as it should be, and we often search for solutions for its healing. In Jewish thought, this healing is called Tikkun Olam or “the repairing of the world.” Traditionally, Tikkun Olam is a call to act out what is good and right for the betterment not only of one’s own society but for the whole of humanity.


Join us at Upside Down at our gallery as we exhibit art created by UCLA student artists that explores the Jewish idea of Tikkun Olam creatively – to wrestle with our current moment of brokenness and find hope hidden in unexpected places.

Upside Down

Upside Down is a coffee, art, and community space owned and operated by Jews for Jesus, designed to serve the community of Westwood Village and UCLA.

Since 2019, the cafe has operated by donation, and most of the events are free to the public. Spaces owned by religious groups are typically either not opened to the public, or not really a space you want to be, and we wanted to change that. We love flipping preconceived ideas on their heads – hence the name. For example, a donation-based coffee shop, or being Jewish and following Jesus. Flipping things can be fun!

Our hope is that each time you walk in from our upside down world, things get put right side up in some way.
