Beit Zatoun (House of Olive, in English), an art gallery and culture space in Toronto, is celebrating its fourth anniversary. Beit Zatoun has made its mark on the urban landscape having been adopted by Toronto's many communities as a meeting place for meaningful conversation, exhibition and exploration.

Beit Zatoun programs and hosts public and community events promoting the interplay of art, culture and politics to explore issues of social justice and human rights - local and global. Through music, poetry, film, public forums, visual art, conversations and more, Beit Zatoun contributes to an understanding of social and political issues in ways that strengthen and connect movements, groups and individuals interested in bringing about change.
