Collect Call: All About Cherie Shoquist

Collect Call: Exploring Art Patronage offers us a view into 8 collections in the Twin Cities. We're spotlighting a collector a day during the week of the exhibition.

Today we have the pleasure of spotlighting Cherie Shoquist.

 Cherie Shoquist is Principal Project Coordinator for the City of Minneapolis
Community Planning and Economic Development Department and responsible for
the development of strategies, policies and programs to advance the recovery
of the city's housing market hardest hit by foreclosures including the
innovative Green Homes North program. She also worked in policy for the
Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and as an attorney for the Legal Aid
Society of Minneapolis.  She graduated from William Mitchell College of Law
and the University of Minnesota and was a policy fellow at the Humphrey
Institute of Public Affairs.

 
She has served as a volunteer for Minnesota Advocates for Human Rights, Free
Arts Minnesota, Walker Art Center's Education and Community Programs, and is
an Advisory Board Member for Soo Visual Arts Center.

I began to collect art in the early 1990's.  Art makes me happy and I love
to share that. 

A huge thanks to Cherie Shoquist for participating in this exhibition!
