Outdoor Art Show Along Schuylkill Ends Saturday
by KYW's Karin Phillips
Philadelphia's newest arts festival is fast becoming a hit with artists and visitors. The "Art in the Open" festival, along the Schuylkill River, wraps up Saturday.
Christopher Pierro from New York (right) does what he calls "street art" -- or what some less charitable might call graffiti. He says he's been enjoying his time in Philadelphia, working in the open and talking to interested passersby:
"People always assume that this kind of art is done by hoodlums or done by kids. And here I am, a 40-year-old dad of three, who still does this and does it creatively. So to be able to explain that to people, that part of it to me is important."
