Ella Selyukov

President / Founder

Under Ella Selyukov’s dynamic leadership, MCPArts provides a safe place for exploration of the complexity artists face in finding their creative voice. By actively achieving and refining their creative skills in art, music and drama, participants build a platform to expand their imagination and find solutions to the challenges of everyday life. Ella founded MCPA in 2007 with a vision of bridging the arts and adult day services, and has guided the organization through nearly two decades of expansion across Edina, Eagan, New Hope and St. Paul.
