Beit Zatoun , which means House of Olive (beit means house in both Arabic and Hebrew) is a culture and art venue providing gallery and performance space for the justice and human rights community in Toronto. It aims to raise awareness and create greater understanding as the ultimate means to peace, through art and culture, and by hosting exhibits, talks, screenings, plays, music, dance, workshops, and a resource centre.

At its core, though, the question of Israel/Palestine is but an intersection point of many struggles and human dimensions. Beit Zatoun invites and welcomes all communities resisting oppression and affirming the rights of individuals everywhere to live in dignity and freedom.
