Swannack, Cheryl

Cheryl Swannack was an artist, collector, and magician with a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture. While in grad school, she presented renowned luminaries such as Judy Chicago and R. Buckminister Fuller, which set a tone for events heavy on content. Swannack was instrumental in the development of the Woman's Building in Los Angeles: A Public Center for Women's Culture, with a focus on the performance and gallery spaces. She worked with Judy Chicago, Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, and Arlene Raven—the founders—as well as June Wayne and Kate Millett.

Over the years, socially concerned comedy was added to her interests including events with Marga Gomez in Pretty, Witty and Gay, Kathy Najimy and Mo Gaffney in The Kathy & Mo Show: Parallel Lives (off Broadway productions) and from the Netherlands, with Freek de Jonge in The One and Kiujpers & Holla in Solo-Duo.
