We believe art is inclusive, healing and valuable.


Introducing Omertà Arts

It began with a need for us to create. It grew into a place for so many to belong. We are here to strengthen, preserve and protect the arts in our community. We’ve got you.

Warmly, Chris Riccardo and Leah Cupino

INVESTING IN CREATIVE CAPITOL
On December 15, 2023, the big-hearted non-profit arm “The Omerta Arts Syndicate”, was created aiming to preserve, promote and protect the arts in our community, with the core belief that the arts are Inclusive, Healing, and Valuable.

While the LLC arranges for artist’s studio spaces and shared equipment, the Non-Profit arm runs and supports the auxiliary programming by offering long and short term Residencies Mentorships, Classes, and teaching opportunities to artists of varying levels of experience. The non-profit also aims to promote the arts through The Front Gallery and throughout local spaces and events such as the Downtown Helena Art Walks.

Our 2024 programming has already included short and long-term creative experiences for veterans, nurses, and cancer survivors to enrich their creative journey in their healing of self and others.

The Omerta Arts Syndicate is committed to help re-establish the title ‘Best Little Arts Town’ that Helena was once awarded (in 1995).

**The Omerta Arts Syndicate is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization able to accept tax-deductible charitable contributions. EIN #: 93-4802793
