Hosted by charming local Sausalito history buff Phil Frank. Phil's humor is as legendary as Varda's parties. He is the SF Chronicle's Farley cartoonist.

Varda incarnated! Chris Hardman of Antenna Theater brings his colorful 8-foot sculpture/puppet of the mythical Varda.

Sagas told, tales recited, rumors recanted. Truths you would never have believed about Jean (Yanko) Varda are illuminated by the vivacous and rebellious Heide Foley.

Experience chronicles, stories and dream worlds of Varda as told by the veracious writer Judy Stone, gentleman extraordinaire Alexis Tellis and via special video collage, poet Victor di Suvero.

Turn of the century violin rhapsody by genial good fellow Brian Wallace.

With a wine reception & art show of Varda's paintings straight out of the boudoirs and bedrooms of private homes from all over San Francisco.

Varda, who died in 1971, was best known as a collagist. The event of art, poetry, music and will raise funds to obtain an album of 48 original Jean Varda paintings & drawings to donate to a non-profit organization for public access. Because Sausalito does not have a collective body of Varda's work, this is a unique opportunity to commemorate our local celebrity, Jean (Yanko) Varda, by obtaining the album for all to enjoy.
