Art Factory was established by Nate Buker and June Hankins -- making their public debut at Detroit's Dally In The Alley, September 10, 2005 presenting prototype apparel and accessory designs.

Nate is known as a musician, sound engineer and for his overflowing drawers of punk and countercultural T-shirts. Coming from a background in offset printing Nate brings an educated understanding of color and design into Art Factory's production process.

June is known as a seamstress and the proprietor of the legendary Curly's Boutique and Gallery (1990-1996). Her sense of style and whimsical left-field humor finds it's expression in many Art Factory designs. Her experience in business, finance and retail makes her the ultimate customer-service representative.

The paired talents of these two creative personalities blend naturally into the demands of the business. The result is that Art Factory clients receive the benefit of a shared enthusiasm for exactly the things that keep them coming back.
