The Muse’s Night Out A Woman Made Gallery Soirée at ALMA

Woman Made Gallery’s annual fundraiser, The Muse’s Night Out at Alma Art & Interiors, was a resounding success. We extend our heartfelt thanks to hosts Gosia Korsakowski and Kimberly Oliva for graciously providing their beautiful space for this important event.

Over 100 guests, along with the entire WMG team, enjoyed Alma’s inspiring art displays. The evening featured a silent auction, mystery bags, portrait sessions, and exclusive gallery merchandise, all to support our operations. Andrea Herrera and Amazing Edibles Catering delighted guests with an array of delicious appetizers and sweets, while our dedicated volunteers ensured everything ran smoothly.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, donors, and guests, Woman Made Gallery raised $29,000. These funds will help WMG with advancing our mission to support, promote, and inspire the work of women and non-binary artists. The contributions will be used to fund future exhibitions, provide stipends to artists, develop educational programs, and create community outreach initiatives, ensuring that WMG remains a vital platform for diverse voices in the arts.
