Mayflower Medicinals, a cannabis company that operates an adult-use dispensary in Worcester and a cultivation and manufacturing facility in Holliston, is using its packaging as an opportunity to raise money for Unbound Visual Arts, an educational nonprofit based in Allston-Brighton.
Through its initiative, the Mayflower Artist Spotlight Series, art students interested in graphic design, packaging art and branding are given an opportunity to see their designs on certain Mayflower products and store displays.
Mayflower will donate $1 for each product sold through the program to Unbound, according to Mayflower.
Currently featured artist Stuti Goyal, who recently graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design with a BFA in illustration. Her work is being featured on Mayflower’s White Knuckles, an indica-dominant strain, according to the company’s website. She currently works as a freelance illustrator and designer in Boston.
Why was Worcester the right place to set up shop?
With Worcester being the second largest city in New England, it was the natural next step in our dispensary brand expansion. In addition to being an up-and-coming area, we were drawn to Worcester because the city officials have established a transparent and effective process for cannabis retail operators. We are thrilled to be part of the community in Worcester and look forward to establishing deep roots.
The cannabis market is being saturated quickly in this region, what makes Mayflower confident in its ability to stand out?
Mayflower is a trusted cannabis grower and processor, with our product line consistently being sold in over 30 dispensaries statewide. We also have been operating a medical marijuana treatment center in Allston since July 2018, which has experienced tremendous growth and has established a loyal following. Patients and customers can rely on our high standards for service, our top quality products at fair prices
