BEHIND THE SCENES:
Omertà Arts, LLC was founded by local artists Leah Cupino & Chris Riccardo in 2023, functioned much like a non-profit through the year. As of December 15, 2023, Omerta Arts also has a non-profit arm “The Omerta Arts Syndicate”, that aims to preserve, promote and protect the arts in our community.
We offer low-priced studios, provide shared equipment, and our non-profit arm offers promotional, learning and teaching opportunities to artists of varying levels of experience. In 2023, we took on pivotal community arts programming by organizing and revitalizing the downtown Helena Art Walk when it looked like the program was at risk of being terminated.
Our 2024 programming has already included special creative experiences for veterans and nurses, as well as workshops, classes for the public, seminars and mentorships to help creatives upgrade their creative journey.
In addition to all the programming outlined above The Omerta Arts Syndicate will lead the vital spirit of art throughout our community with a satellite gallery to occupy vacant window spaces, and downtown art-centric events.
**The Omerta Arts Syndicate is a verrified 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and is able to accept tax-deductible charitable contributions. EIN #: 93-4802793
