I think it does. Many of the most creative thinkers I know are also artists or musicians. It exercises a different part of the brain. I also know lots of very talented engineers who create stuff that is virtually unusable because they have no sense of aesthetic.
Creativity and innovation are tricky concepts. But I think you're in the minority in believing there is no correlation between the arts and the ability to think creatively in the sciences.
