Gap and the Whitney Museum of American Art have teamed with some of my favorite artists to create some cool Tee’s for Men and Women. I am very excited that today I went to the Walker Art Center instead of ordering offline or dragging myself into my local gap store to purchase my Marilyn Minter Tee.

Featured artists tees are :

Hanna Liden

Chuck Close

Jeff Koons

Marylin Minter

Kenny Scharf

Glenn Ligon

Sarah Sze

Kiki Smith

Barbara Kruger

I must admit I am not one to usually enjoy art and retail or art and advertising but after I heard the Walker was selling the shirts and it benefited the museum, I was on board. All the shirts sold at the Walker benefit the museum, and they are the same exact price as Gap!The shirts are 100% cotton,they run kinda large..and they are super soft.$28 dollars and you can have your favorite art on a shirt.

Well, last night we began hanging all the beautiful artwork for the 1st preliminary in St.Paul.

I am so excited about the show all of the work looks so amazing.

Come down on Saturday to be amazed and see and meet some amazing young artists!

This Saturday May 10th from Noon-7 Performance at 5
