The Public Canvas.
Creative Flair's flagship billboard programme, placing contemporary artwork on large-format digital screens across central London. Each campaign puts selected artists in front of hundreds of thousands of people daily, with professional photography and a permanent place in the archive.
Plus press in Bold Journey, CanvasRebel, and The Business Spotlight, and a partnership with International Women's Day Global.
A small, considered home
for working artists.
What started as a blog at the London art fairs has become a quietly serious platform for working artists. Real exhibitions on London billboards, a community that takes the work seriously, a resource library for the practice, and a small membership that ties it all together. Built by an artist, for artists, with care.
Read about usFrom the community.
As a mammy of two very young boys, creating often only happens in the small moments between the beautiful chaos. So having my art noticed honestly meant more to me than I can put into words. Travelling down from Sunderland to London with my four-year-old to see my work in person was such a special experience, one I'll never forget. My little boy has been telling anyone who'll listen, "I went to London to see my mammy's artwork."
Having a piece selected for Art on the Streets was a genuinely amazing experience. James' real sense of care for the artists involved was evident from the very start. It's refreshing to work with someone who not only champions emerging artists, but does so with professionalism, kindness, and a genuine passion for making art accessible. It's rare to feel truly seen as an emerging artist, but this event created exactly that feeling.
Built for the way artists actually work.

The most asked, answered.
How does Creative Flair actually help me get seen as an artist?
Creative Flair creates and curates real-world opportunities for artists, not just online exposure. Through programmes like The Public Canvas, we place selected artworks on digital billboards across major cities, alongside a platform that helps artists build profiles, connect with curators, and grow their audience.
The aim is simple: to move artists from being hidden to being visible.
What is The Public Canvas?
The Public Canvas is Creative Flair's flagship public-art programme. We take contemporary artwork and place it on large-format digital billboards in high-footfall London locations, turning public advertising space into curated art exhibitions.
It gives artists a rare opportunity to have their work seen by thousands of people in the real world.
Do I need to be established to take part?
No. The Public Canvas and other Creative Flair opportunities are open to artists at all stages. We are interested in the strength of the work, not the size of someone's following or CV. Many of the artists we feature are emerging and gaining their first major public exposure through our programmes.
How do I apply for The Public Canvas and other open calls?
All open calls for The Public Canvas and other Creative Flair exhibitions are listed in the Opportunities section of the site. Each campaign has its own page with details, deadlines, and application instructions.
What kind of opportunities will I find on Creative Flair?
A mix of Creative Flair's own programmes and carefully curated external opportunities, including:
- Public exhibitions
- Open calls and residencies
- Grants and funding
- Art fairs and showcases
- Industry and networking events
Everything listed is reviewed to ensure it offers genuine value to artists.
Can I earn money through Creative Flair?
Yes. Creative Flair supports artists in monetising their work in multiple ways. This includes earning from writing and publishing on the platform, selling courses and digital products, and participating in paid exhibition opportunities such as The Public Canvas.
Is Creative Flair just a listings website?
No. Creative Flair is both a platform and a producer of opportunities. We do not simply list events. We create programmes like The Public Canvas, partner with galleries and institutions, and actively curate what appears on the site.
Can galleries, curators, or organisations submit opportunities?
Yes. If you run an exhibition, open call, residency, grant, or creative programme, you can submit it for review. We only publish opportunities that meet our standards for fairness, professionalism, and creative value.
What makes Creative Flair different from other artist platforms?
Creative Flair is not just digital. It is rooted in the real art world. We run public exhibitions, work with galleries and art fairs, and put artists' work into physical spaces that people walk past every day.
That combination of community, opportunity, and real-world visibility is what sets Creative Flair apart.
