The Golden Mean, after years of showcasing at events like Autumn Lights Festival, Makers Faire, and Burning Man, is in need of some repairs, with a specific focus around the transmission and engine. With support from the community, we believe we can raise the funds required ($10,000) to rebuild and bring everyones favorite snail to future events, for years to come.

How can you rise to the occasion and get involved? For anyone who wants to show their support for The Golden Mean, we ask that you help donate any amount possible, and #SpreadTheWord to your friends and family!

Please encourage friends, family, and art supporters in your community to donate, using the following link https://givebutter.com/TheGoldenMean or by texting (202) 858-1233 and using keyword GoldenMean

The Golden Mean is a giant hot rod art car built by a group of artists in West Oakland’s Kraftworks building. Built on a 1967 VW bug chassis, the Golden Mean Snail Car features seating for six, rein-triggered fire shooting eye stalks, and a signature antiqued patina finish.

Conceived in a dream in 2008 by artist Kyrsten Mate, blacksmith Jon Sarriugarte worked with his wife, Kyrsten Mate, to build this extraordinary vehicle with the help of the artist members of Empire of Dirt
