Earth Day 2006 will kick-off in New York City at 10 am on Friday, April 14th with a display of Giant Earth Images and messages in Grand Central Terminal. The week-long show, projected on the north columns in the Main Concourse, will feature inspiring environmentally-themed works of art, messages and graphics created by internationally acclaimed artists such as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein and others. The program will run ten hours a day (from 10 am to 8 pm), everyday through April 23rd.

Earth Day New York will celebrate its 4th annual EarthFair with two events. The Indoor event, Friday April 14th (12 pm - 7 pm) and Saturday April 15th (11 am - 5 pm), will focus on greening New Yorker's lifestyles, in Vanderbilt Hall, the main entrance to Grand Central Terminal. The Outdoor event, Friday, April 21st (12 pm - 7 pm) and Saturday, April 22nd (11 am - 5 pm) will celebrate outdoors with art, music and the environment, on Vanderbilt Avenue. A stage will feature musical performances by various pop, folk and world music artists. A large exhibit area that highlights green businesses and environmental groups will include activities for the whole family, free samples, and interactive displays that will educate, engage and provide an opportunity to take positive action for the environment. The EarthFair will act as the free public music venue for the Green Apple Music and Arts Festival, which is a weeklong festival including more than 40 concerts at various venues throughout the city, as well as the JAMMY awards, children's programming and more.

The week-long display of "Giant Earth Images" in the Main Concourse is expected to garner wide public attention.
