"Inspiring Impressionism: The Impressionists and the Art of the Past" opens to the public at 10 a.m. Thursday at the downtown Seattle Art Museum. The show, which pairs works by the old masters with impressionist paintings, is expected to draw crowds to the recently expanded museum throughout the summer. Opening-day events include a discussion with the exhibition's co-curator Ann Dumas, who will explain how "Inspiring Impressionism" came together (7-8:30 p.m. Thursday). Seattle Art Museum is at 1300 First Ave.; for admission information, call 206-625-8900 or go to www.seattleartmuseum.org. The show runs through Sept. 21.
