Twelve Gates Arts, established in 2009, is a non-profit organization based in Philadelphia, PA, and a leading platform for South Asian diasporic contemporary art. Rooted in cultural sustainability and equity, it provides spaces to explore the realities of migration, identity, and cultural exchange. As the only gallery in the region dedicated to South Asian diasporic art, it amplifies underrepresented voices and foster meaningful engagement between artists, audiences, and communities. The “gates” refer to the fortified gates that walled many ancient cities such as Delhi, Lahore, Jerusalem, and Rhodes – inside which lay the heart of each city’s art and culture, and today this reference offers perspectives on history and possibilities.

Visual art and artists are at the center of our work. We believe in the intrinsic value of experimental artistic practice and promote artistic participation in cultural conversations at the highest level.
