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.
