Honoring a Beautiful Life

 

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

Mary Oliver, The Summer Day excerpt

Sort Sol Group has established a Legacy Fund to honor Sherry’s contribution to the arts community by offering a 20% discount on services to all creative organizations.

Our dear colleague, friend, and founding Flock Member, Sherry Wagner-Henry, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, May 30, 2020, due to complications from surgery. We honor Sherry’s memory by celebrating the many significant contributions she made to the global, creative community.

For more than 25 years, Sherry served as a leader in arts, cultural, and humanities-based centers in higher education institutions. Since 2012, she energetically served as Director of the Bolz Center for Arts Administration at the Wisconsin School of Business, where she and Dennis met and subsequently began ideating what is now Sort Sol Group.

Sherry started the Creative Placemaking Consortium and worked with the Division to start the Creative Placemaking Hub. She developed and taught a new intensive Creative Placemaking course through the Division in 2018, partnering with Arts Wisconsin to take students to rural and urban communities around Wisconsin. Sherry was a champion of the arts, which shone through her work as an educator and innovator in the interdisciplinary arts.

Sherry’s passing is a terrible personal and professional loss for us at Sort Sol Group. We are proud to honor her legacy by discounting our work with creative clients.
