Gap

SFMOMA really knows how to throw a party. To coincide with their 75th anniversary celebration, they enlisted the help of nine artists with Bay Area ties and local clothing giant Gap to create a line of unique limited-edition T-shirts. The result is a brilliant collection of eight unisex shirts from the likes of well-known artists Chris Johanson, Barry McGee, Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel that are sure to be highly covetable for art students and collectors alike.

The season just wouldn't be complete without a little Gap cheer. This weekend, the brand is bringing their holiday campaign to life on the streets on San Francisco. Be on the lookout for a buffalo plaid bus carrying a cheer squad of 12 professional dancers and drummers. Once you spot them (we hear they might be stationed in places like Union Square, Fisherman's Wharf and the Ferry Building), all you have to do is show some spirit for the chance to win free giveaways.
