Twelve Gates Arts, established in 2011, is a non-profit organization based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 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.

Accessibility Details: This event will be in-person and indoors. Masks are recommended. There are two steps from sidewalk-level, to enter the building. There is one all-gender bathroom available at the far end of the gallery.

The Velocity Fund offers twelve Philadelphia-based artists and collectives $5000 to develop and present new projects — particularly those that are experimental in genre, collaborative in practice, grounded in their communities, and thoughtful in their impact. Independent artists, collaborative groups, and non-incorporated collectives are welcome to apply.

The Velocity Fund intends to directly support artists and arts-based cultural organizers who conduct their practice outside the studio, and who present them outside traditional art spaces. Velocity has funded multidisciplinary and varied work that use visual arts — including (but never limited to) printmaking, performance, video, puppetry, sculpture, and curation — to expand, archive, learn with, and lift up their publics.

The Velocity Fund is a Regional Regranting Program supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and hosted by Asian Arts Initiative.
