OUR MISSION

PAPCA's mission is to spread information and encourage others on to the right path in life through the medium of art, education, and community service.

“​I saw a lack of t-shirts, greeting cards, notebooks, and artwork with a meaningful message on it. I also noticed a lack of representation of representation of Detroit history around. Thus business began because I wanted to have my favorite things to do in one business and I also wanted information to get out in style, and thus PAPCA began."
