Argel recently received a BCAC Early Career Development Grant from BC Arts Council to develop his skills in writing and producing a new musical. Together with his main mentor, Davey Calderon, Argel will be working with Filipinx-Canadian artists and other artists to mentor him into producing his own musicals in the future. This grant bridges the gap between his training at Capilano University and his hopes of producing and writing musicals that centre the Filipinx-Canadian Experience.
