WTTW has produced more than 1,300 stories about the arts during the past decade. We began in 1997 with Artbeat Chicago, a weekly series covering the city's vibrant cultural scene. In 2001 came Arts Across Illinois, a series showcasing artists and organizations who received grants from the Illinois Arts Council. Since Artbeat Chicago's run ended in 2004, arts stories have appeared weekly on Chicago Tonight.
