#ArtInTheParkPH 2020 Special Exhibit: #DexFernandez through his alter ego @garapata_ will install a “Garapata Hatchery”, where visitors can participate in his art-making process and take home some Garapata merchandise. “You can bring with you this quirky, transforming, expressive, omnipresent personality if you’re willing to be infested,” says Fernandez. “Just bring a shirt, a tote bag or any material that has a flat surface for Garapata to latch on.” #PressLaunch ART IN THE PARK 2020 15 March 2020, Sunday 10am – 10pm Jaime Velasquez Park, Salcedo Village, Makati #ArtPH #SalcedoVillage #Makati #JaimeVelasquezPark #FortheBenefitofMFPI #SupportNationalMuseum
