| Description | Sitting in the shade of their white tents, most vendors here sell photos or paintings, crafts or jewelry. But a handful of people showed up at Artscape yesterday to sell an idea -- that they are the best candidates to lead Baltimore.
Among the most well-attended festivals in the city -- organizers estimate 500,000 will have come by the end of today -- Artscape offers political candidates a one-stop spot to shake hands, talk about their platforms and recruit campaign volunteers. Many are taking advantage of the captive audience.
Most arrived with an entourage wearing colorful T-shirts, waving yard signs, placing campaign stickers on any shoulder within reach. As they slid their way through the crowds, people yelled out and the candidates responded with a wave and a smile. This, one could argue, is also a form of art. |
