25th Anniversary Fundraising
Co.ERASGA celebrates a milestone 25th anniversary year. We are proud to continue our arts service to the community worldwide. Through the power of dance we have created numerous dance productions shared globally. Our annual diverse programming has supported so many communities through specialized workshops and outreach engagements, mentorship programs, BIPOC independent artists and artistic dialogues for the enhancement of arts and culture.
A fundraising initiative allows us to continue our resilience efforts to operate our programs and support our working artists in the community moving forth.

Richard Tetrault is a Vancouver-based visual artist who studied painting and printmaking at the Vancouver School of Art, drawing at the New York Art Students’ League, and music at University of British Columbia. His practice includes woodcut and mixed-media printmaking, painting and large-scale, oftentimes collaborative murals. Thematically, his work explores facets of his urban community, the coastal landscape, his extensive travels, and his Metis heritage.
Tetrault works in his studio that is located in Strathcona, East Vancouver.
Originally from Montreal, Jocelyn Barrable Segal now lives and works in Vancouver. She received in 1983 a Bachelor in both Interior Design and Fine Art from the University of Manitoba and graduated with a MFA in printmaking in 1986 from Louisiana State University. Jocelyn continues to travel extensively to many areas of the world. The concept of movement influences her images and is now most visible in her floral arrangements. They show her genuine love for carefully drawn images on stone, herability to focus on details and her courage to let the brush wander in its own authentic language. The merging of these skills and sensibilities result in a visibly unique signature. Jocelyn’s work can be found in private and public collections in North America, Europe and Asia.

Brigitte was born in the south of Germany in 1943 and immigrated to Canada in 1977. Visual art, with skills in drawing, papermaking, printmaking and installation art, is her practice. The core of her work focuses on human-nature relation and written language.
