12G Art Fairs

Over the years, Twelve Gates Arts has proudly participated in a range of national and international art fairs, including NADA Miami 2024, Philadelphia Art Fair 2018, Artissima 2017, Beirut Art Fair 2018 & 2019, and SLICK Paris 2010. These platforms have enabled 12G to confidently showcase influential artists from South Asia and the diasporas who create powerful, innovative work through critical, experimental, and interdisciplinary practices. Through its curated solo and group presentations at these fairs, 12G amplifies strong artistic voices that expand and enrich contemporary art dialogues. Each fair participation reinforces 12G's commitment to creating vibrant spaces that celebrate and advance the significant contributions of South Asian artists within global contemporary art.

NADA Miami 2025

Twelve Gates is incredibly excited to return to NADA Miami for our second year, joining nearly 140 galleries, art spaces, and nonprofit organizations spanning 30 countries and 65 cities at the 23rd edition of the art fair, taking place at Ice Palace Studios from December 2–6, 2025.

We are thrilled to present the work of Pallavi Sen, whose large-scale watercolors bring together dreams, domestic worlds, gardens, and political consciousness. Drawing from the sixty-four kalā of Hindustani tradition, her paintings use signature concentric borders to create immersive interiors and shifting landscapes.

Pallavi Sen (b. 1989, New Delhi, India) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses painting, sculpture, installation, and pedagogical projects. She received her MFA in Sculpture Extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University (2016) and her BFA from Columbus College of Art & Design (2011). Sen serves as Associate Professor of Multiples & Distributed Art at Williams College and was Dean at the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture (2022-2024). Her work has been exhibited at Williams College Museum of Art, Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center, ICA Boston, Clark Art Institute, and internationally in India and Mexico. Recent honors include a MacDowell Fellowship (2023), NYFA Immigrant Artist Fellowship (2018), and residencies at Mildred's Lane, Ox-Bow, ACRE, and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. Her work is held in collections including Portland State University's Art & Social Practice Archive and the Library of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Sen's practice is guided by South Asian aesthetics and the concept of kalā - the sixty-four arts that encompass both making and living. She has created non-toxic printshops, developed meadow ecosystems, and designed innovative courses that integrate environmental responsibility with traditional craft techniques.

Be sure to join us on Saturday, December 6 at 1 PM.

Our founder and Executive Director, Aisha Zia Khan, will take part in the panel “The Art World, City to City.” She will join fellow NADA members to discuss how global artistic movements influence local art communities. The conversation will be moderated by Brandon Sheats of Burnaway and will offer clear, grounded insight into the shifting dynamics of the contemporary art world.
