# City Summer Art Escapes Children’s Peace Theatre Brings Art to the City in an Inventive Way By Nicole Haldoupis | Published 2013-06-17 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childrens-peace-theatre References: [childrenspeacetheatre.org](http://www.childrenspeacetheatre.org/) Children’s Peace Theatre is a non-profit community arts organization located in the heart of East York, Toronto in a beautiful old heritage home called the Massey Goulding Estate. Although it has the word “children” in the title, this organization also serves youth in the community, as well as adults – so you can pretty much be any age and you will be welcomed in with open arms. The theater runs a multitude of programs and events throughout the year, but its pride and joy is the Summer Peace Camp – a [theater camp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avantgarde-theatrical-experience) featuring artists, performers and campers of all ages from Toronto and around the world who put together a show in just three weeks. The camp culminates with a Gala event on Saturday, July 27th. The show this year is called 'Passage: A Moving Experience,' and will explore stories about global migration. The night will include a reception after the [outdoor performance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-ar-exhibition) (if weather permits), usually featuring live music and some really great food, along with speeches by a few local politicians. The [Children's Peace Theatre](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bronx-childrens-museum) also runs programs and events through the fall, winter and spring seasons for local children and youth, and is currently working on a mural project with a few other organizations, including the TTC, to help beautify Coxwell subway station while it is being reconstructed. **Contact Information** Children's Peace Theatre website Children's Peace Theatre on [Twitter](http://www.twitter.com/PeaceTheatre) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Community Arts Organizations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology to expand reach and engagement beyond local community. - **Youth Theater Camps:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize virtual reality or immersive technologies to enhance theatrical experiences. - **Mural Projects:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate interactive elements into murals to engage passersby and create unique experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Non-profit Organizations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore blockchain technology for transparent and efficient donation tracking. - **Event Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop smart event management platforms that automate logistics and enhance attendee experiences. - **Public Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement digital art installations in subway stations to create immersive and dynamic commuting experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Free Neighbourhood Public Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabbagetown-festival.md) - [Neighborhood Music Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-music-in-the-park.md) - [Toronto Landmark Music Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-in-the-park.md) - [Award-Winning Winter Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/window-wonderland.md) - [Toronto Culture Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-on-bloor-festival.md) - [Interactive Survival-Focused Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/survival-the-exhibition.md) - [Three-Dimensional Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-doubt-your-eyes.md) - [Whimsical Outdoor Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foffys-wonderland.md) - [Engaging Science-Inspired Activities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ontario-science-centre.md)
