Art Workshops

•  Art and Crafts

​

Since 2018 workshops were provided for the targeted population through Obsessions Gifts until MPAC was formed in 2020. MPAC then began providing the workshops. The art workshops infuse social competencies; entrepreneurship; enhancement of friendships; and confidence.  We believe in inclusion and our art workshops are for everyone.

How are MPAC, Obsessions, and Caring Relations Affiliated?

   MPAC and Obsessions work together to form a Social Enterprise.  MPAC is a nonprofit and Obsessions Gifts is a for profit and both work together to provide programs and products for the community.  Caring Relations does business as Obsessions Gifts.  In other words, Obsessions Gifts is a business under Caring Relations. Caring Relations was created to provide counseling and contracted social services with other  businesses. 

​

  MPAC provides programs to our target population while Obsessions works to provide inclusion within and outside of  MPAC's programs and vice versa.  For example: MPAC participants gain entrepreneurship opportunities through placing their items in Obsessions Gifts for sale.
