Twelve Gates Arts

Twelve Gates Arts is a non-profit organization based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2011, the organization is dedicated to promoting international multidisciplinary arts, particularly those connected to South Asian identities. The name "Twelve Gates Arts" is inspired by the fortified gates that once protected ancient cities, symbolizing the heart of each city's art and culture. The organization hosts monthly exhibitions featuring contemporary and modern art from South Asian and Middle Eastern artists, as well as artists from those regions who identify as part of the diaspora. Twelve Gates Arts showcases a diverse range of artists, including established masters and emerging talents. In addition to exhibitions, they regularly organize Salon events that highlight works from artists in film, multimedia, literature, and performance. Through its thought-provoking atmosphere, Twelve Gates Arts aims to bridge geographical and cultural boundaries, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the richness and diversity of artistic expression.
