A classically trained theatre artist with an extensive resume as an actor, director, and producer, Richard Falcon brings his seventeen years in community organizing to the mission of inclusive arts. As one of the founding members of the Sacramento Artist Corp where 47 artists were selected to create messaging about COVID-19 to the Sacramento community in 2020, Richard has extended that expertise in convening artists to his efforts around environmental justice and civic engagement as lead organizer for United Latinos. In this capacity he has produced multi-disciplinary art works for the 2020 Census, the Health Equity Task Force, and most recently the City-wide vaccination campaign and the participatory budgeting project. Richard has also spent 3 ½ years on the Sacramento Police Review Commission (SCPRC), served as Chair of the UC Davis Staff Advisory Committee for Equity Diversity and Inclusion (SACEDI), President of the Artists of Color, active member of the Sacramento Latino Community Round Table and most recently as a community outreach coordinator for the participatory budgeting project in Sacramento CA. His long-standing community partnerships and collaborations include La Familia, Vida de Oro, Latino Center of Art & Culture. As owner of Teatro Nagual, a social justice theatre arts organization focusing on the core values of Cesar Chavez fostering service to others, Richard has taken a lesson from past “artivists” and demonstrated the power of arts in educating and touching community in ways that appeal to the people. His present outreach endeavour is a arts program coordinator for the City of Sacramento Office of Arts and Culture working on the Capitol Region Creative Corp initiative.
