These little moments of joy make it all worth it! We love kids delighted by the bubbles, people stopping to snap a picture, and generally adding a little bit of magic into people’s day.

If you love Naga and want to support more moments like these, join us this Saturday in Golden Gate Park for a playful afternoon with face painting, bubbles, live music, and puppet performances! We are hosting a fundraiser to support the ongoing maintenance of Naga, like refilling his bubbles. 🫧🐉✨

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

From the ocean of its origins to the desert landscape of the playa to the lush setting of Rainbow Falls, Naga’s magic is only complete when surrounded by nature.

If you’re taking a walk around Golden Gate Park today to appreciate how beautiful the city and our planet is, we hope Naga brings you a little bit of extra joy.

Are you curious why Naga is fundraising?

From keeping Naga breathing out bubbles and glowing at night to covering the costs from installing him in Golden Gate Park, placing and maintaining big art is expensive 😬

But there’s also so much more we can do with Naga! The artists who brought Naga and the Captainess to life have hopes to place the rest of the piece and put together more ways to engage with the community.

For now, we’re just looking to maintain Naga in all his glory 🐍✨

Naga can use some help!

Hi friends- we are so happy to see you visiting Naga, taking pictures, bringing your friends and family, painting pictures, having parties, and in general making him a part of the community just as we hoped.

We still need help. The installation cost more than any of our best estimates and experienced contractors guessed. It’s difficult to even explain the amount of collaboration this massive installation required from inception to playa to final installation in the park. Putting five lighted sculptures in a 100 year old pond with no records, and no electricity costs a lot. Surprise costs far outside the scope we expected included having to do engineering twice as we learned about the mysterious bottom of the pond ($10k), having to hire suction trucks to remove muck from the bottom of the pond ($30k) and having to design and install our own 220V service panel and electrical system ($35k)

None of these unexpected expenses were in our initial budget, but once we had final dates, the pond drained, and cranes on the way, we had to go ahead no matter the cost. We made up the difference with credit cards and not paying our lead for her labor, and using what would have been the maintenance budget. We still owe our concrete installer a not-insignificant amount as well.

We want Naga to have a long and happy life in the park, and we still hope to raise funds to place the ship, the Aldrovanda, carrying Naga’s precious cargo and other mysteries in the park next to him. At this stage though, for ourselves and our donors, we just need to show we are completing this round of fundraising.

If you have the means to help us continue to make magic- we have to refill his bubble tank monthly, maintain his custom bubble machines, and keep the lights on, as well as getting out of install debt. Every little bit helps us keep Naga in the pond, and move us closer to our goal! 

If you have the ability to show some financial love- please do! Our generous 501c3 fiscal sponsor Illuminate is passing through 100% of tax deductible donations!
