SEATTLE – There’s more to an exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum than meets the eye. Blockbuster exhibitions with works by Picasso and Gauguin not only bring major works of art to SAM, they also create an opportunity for nearby businesses to participate. Nicole Sanchez talks with tourists, hotels and SAM about how these exhibitions translate to a boost in the local economy.

Watch the business of art now at:

Then tune in tonight at 7 p.m. to watch the rest of CityStream’s artistic show from SAM! Learn how art isn’t all about beautiful paintings or sculptures, it also heals. We’ll show you how creating can be a form of therapy.

And have you ever driven around Seattle and noticed some big, bright and whimsical murals on the sides of buildings? Well that’s the work of Henry. We’ll tag along as muralist Ryan Henry Ward brings his imagination to life!

Catch those stories and much more tonight on an all new CityStream! The award winning CityStream premieres Thursday, March 1, at 7 p.m. on the SEATTLE CHANNEL, Cable 21 or watch it online anytime at: www.seattlechannel.org/CityStream.
