Los Osos’ Costa Gallery (2087 10th St.) recently held a reception and fundraising event to support the Economics of Being a Woman, an organization dedicated to financial education programs for women. Founded in 1976 by Libbie Agran, the organization has helped more than 35,000 people financially empower themselves.
Now run by Andrea C. Wasko and Meaghan Gilbert, the Los Osos organization continues its mission to make women’s lives financially secure. Costa Gallery is exhibiting Wasko and Gilbert’s personal art collection, which will remain on display through Sunday, April 26. It includes a curated selection of fine art, decorative objects, and unique collectibles.
“We’re honored to be collaborating with the Costa Gallery on this event,” Wasko announced. “They’re a gallery with heart that believes in supporting women, minorities, and our community. April is Financial Literacy Month, and we want to raise awareness about the need for financial education for women and their families.”
“This event brings together art and purpose in a way that truly benefits the community,” Costa added. “We’re proud to showcase an incredible personal collection while supporting financial education for women—something that has a lasting and meaningful impact.”
