*From the MOON news release
MOON has commissioned a pair of custom painted Voice 22 loudspeakers to be auctioned in aid of Oxfam Canada. The award-winning speakers feature a unique hand-painted design applied by Montreal artist LeBicar and use premium audio technology to deliver an unforgettable listening experience.
Oxfam Canada’s mission is to build lasting solutions to poverty and injustice, focusing on improving lives and promoting the rights of women and girls. It works directly with communities, partners, and women’s rights organizations to challenge the systems perpetuating inequality and keeping people poor. It seeks to influence those in power to ensure that women trapped in poverty have a say in the critical decisions that affect them, their families, and entire communities.
MOON is based in Montreal and selected renowned local artist LeBicar to create this stunning pair of loudspeakers. LeBicar is strongly influenced by both music and skateboard culture and his work is identifiable by its single continuous strokes. His visual signature is the use of black and white to express an inspiring mix of duality, contrast, and individuality.
The Voice 22 loudspeakers benefit from MOON’s more-than-forty years of audio design experience and give the company its own voice for the very first time. The speakers have been launched to global acclaim and have received many outstanding reviews including a prestigious EISA award.
A silent auction will take place from the 24th of February until the 26th of March with bids starting at CA$3000. All money raised from the auction of the loudspeakers will be donated directly to Oxfam Canada.
Etienne Gautier, MOON’s Chief Commercial Officer, said, ‘We are pleased to be able to partner with Oxfam Canada and to support its global goals. I am certain that with the MOON X LeBicar loudspeakers as a prize that the auction will be extremely popular. I’d like to thank the Quebec-based creative organisation, Artbangbang, for introducing us to Lebicar and for enabling this exciting project.’
