We are proud to feature the artistry of NPC3 artistic principals through an online arts presentation of their works in “Ang Arte”.  This collective conversation brings together Vancouver based Filipino artists: poet/writer Karla Comanda, theatre director/performance maker Dennis Gupa, classically-trained singer Jeremy Carag, visual artist Lenore Lim, and dancer/choreographer Alvin Erasga Tolentino.

Moderated by Vancouver’s Filipina community leader Christina Panis, this online conversation will also showcase the artistic breath of each artist’s craft and discipline that explores creative writing, theatre/performance, music, visual arts, and dance rooted within the traditional and contemporary arts praxis.

We invite you to converse with the artists in this event that weaves personal stories, diasporic experiences, artistic processes, and aspirations for a communal exposition of a much awaited Philippine center for the arts, humanities, and community-engagement-arts programming in Vancouver as envisioned by NPC3. Drawing on the vernacular colloquial term, “Ang Arte”, (that usually means “finicky” or “fastidious”) the artists share their insights on the rigours, joy, and courage of creating arts that highlight the Pilipino cultures in the diaspora in Canada and the global site.

Co.ERASGA gratefully acknowledges the partnering support of NPC3 and the public funding through the Canada Council for the arts, BC Arts Council, BC gaming commissions and the City of Vancouver.
