Michael Lopez
Honda Fit Gifting Ceremony: Humboldt Park Boathouse Parking Lot

Honda Fit Gifting Ceremony is the second iteration of Michael Lopez’s art gifting project. Initially a means to gift art via instagram under the username @deemarblestone, Honda Fit Gifting Ceremony is a public event where the artist gifts his art out of the back of a Honda Fit in the Humboldt Park Boathouse parking lot.

Participants are encouraged to approach Michael Lopez as he waits by his white Honda Fit filled with pieces of his art. He will then gift works of art from his collection that he has labored over passionately during the span of his career. The sculptural works to be gifted are made out of wood, fabric, leather, plexiglass, concrete, ceramic, used clothing, oil paint, acrylic paint, and other materials.

July 23rd. 12pm – 3pm
Humboldt Park, Parking lot of the Humboldt Park Boathouse Gallery
