NEW YORK CITY - Television producer Greg Mirman, invited Jack Lardis of Beacon Falls, CT to present artworks from his Environmental Oil Drum Art Exhibition on the CBS Early Show on Saturday, April 19th. The Connecticut drum artworks were on display in Gallery 202 in DUMBO, Brooklyn at that time.

Lardis and five artists in the DUMBO art exhibition delivered nine artworks to the CBS Plaza Studios at 767 Fifth Avenue on Saturday morning, April 19th, for the 7am to 9am program. They set up a mini-exhibition for a live interview with a CBS moderator Lonnie Quinn.

The artworks included West Hartford’s Fred Osorio’s “Out Of Time�; Hartford’s Tao LaBossiere’s “Jaws� and Amy Mielke’s “Legs�; “Iron Face� by Pete Smith from Hamden; “Big Money� by Peter Good from Chester; “Paradox of Plenty�

As part of Earth Day Week Mr. Mirman asked Lardis to incorporate a painting-of-drums workshop for the young attending audience on school vacation. Artist Jennifer Recalde from Beacon Falls, CT, supervised the young volunteers painting two drums. One drum had an Earth Day theme and the other a CBS News Early Show.

After the interviews the artworks were returned to the DUMBO gallery until May 2nd.
