Renowned artists Brooks and Park lived and worked in Springs along with friends Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner and the groundbreaking art community of abstract expressionists. Today, a dedicated group is working with the Town to save their house and studios as a cultural and environmental center. Time is running out on building preservation but not the spirit of these two pioneering artists. (LTV Archive, produced 2017)
