Falcon Art Community

The Falcon Art Community provides a unique and dedicated setting for artists whose work combines excellence in craftsmanship and original vision. Inspiring and masterful artwork, mindful design, and neighbors who are each innovative and hardworking result in an environment which can catalyze the creation of truly great art. Founded in 2006 by Portland Real Estate Developer Brian Wannamaker, the Falcon model is a rare thing: a privately funded arts organization. This allows working artists to thrive while other residents of the community can enjoy a higher quality of life throughout the neighborhood and feel good about contributing to the success of these artists.
