(ASHEVILLE, NC)
– Over Halloween weekend, Asheville, North Carolina came alive with sonic
enlightenment through the Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit – a
celebration of artistic expression across multiple genres and eras. Headliners
included Nine Inch Nails, Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Neutral Milk Hotel,
Animal Collective, Gary Numan, and more. Vertical banners announcing
the festival and headliners graced the downtown streets. In a continuing effort
to give back to the community in which the festival was held, Mountain Oasis
organizers have donated the banners to the Bob Moog Foundation. The
banners will be auctioned on eBay beginning Wednesday, December 11, 2013.
The 10 day auction will feature six
banners measuring 60”x30” made of 20 ounce smooth vinyl. The signage includes
the name and logo for the festival and the logo/image for the respective
headlining bands.
Ashley Capps, president of AC
Entertainment, the organization which produces Mountain Oasis, states, “AC
Entertainment is proud to offer continued support to the Bob Moog Foundation’s
educational and historic preservation initiatives, both of which were featured
at the festival. We believe in music as a medium not only to entertain, but to
enlighten and we are heartened see the Foundation’s efforts to teach science
through music flourishing with their growing project, Dr. Bob’s
SoundSchool."
Michelle Moog-Koussa,
Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation, acknowledges “AC Entertainment
has been a major supporter of our efforts for four years. With their help, the
Foundation is affecting the lives of thousands of children in Western North
Carolina and beyond. We inspire the future through innovative education. The
auction for the banners, in addition to the support generated through the
festival itself, will help keep our organization healthy and growing.”
