The Calligram Foundation was founded in 2011 in Portland, Oregon to offer direct support to skilled and visionary artists in order that they may focus their time and efforts on their craft. In addition to funding the Calligram Falcon Fellowship, Calligram will hold a series of art salons to expose emerging artists to patrons and to stimulate cross media art dialogues.

Calligram's mission is to foster a cultural renaissance by engaging the spectator with art and supporting the direct patronage of artists.
