Why Elevate

We take artists off Instagram and put them in the real world.

Creative Flair runs city-wide billboard exhibitions where real artists get displayed on real advertising screens across London and beyond. The Public Canvas programme is the centre of the platform.

Elevate members get every Public Canvas submission free, for as long as their membership runs.

The membership pays for itself in two submissions. Public Canvas submissions cost between £28 and £150 per spot. Most active artists submit to three or four campaigns a year. The annual membership at £279 covers itself before the first half of the year is out.

What members say.

Creative Flair bridges the gap between emerging artists and the wider art world. I uploaded my portfolio and within weeks had a gallery contact me about a group show. It’s the kind of exposure most of us dream of.
Tayo Adewale
Photographer
Creative Flair has honestly been a game-changer for me. I used to struggle to get my paintings seen outside of Instagram, but their blog feature let me write about my process and reach a totally new audience. I even got paid for my posts, which blew my mind.
Amira Lopez
Mixed-media painter
As a freelance illustrator juggling commissions and side projects, I’m always hunting for platforms that actually respect artists. Creative Flair feels like a community built by creatives for creatives. The networking events helped me land two new collaborations in the first month.
Jules Lily-Rose

I’m a ceramic artist who’s pretty shy online, but the way Creative Flair’s forums work made it easy to join discussions and share my studio updates. It’s the first time I’ve felt a real sense of belonging in an online art space.
Hannah Reid
Ceramicist
Writing articles for Creative Flair has been a brilliant way to flex my art-history nerd side while earning some extra income. The editorial team gave gentle feedback that actually improved my writing, rare on the internet these days.
Marcus Lin
Art historian and blogger
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.

Common questions

The most asked, answered.

Can I apply to The Public Canvas without Elevate?

Yes. Anyone can apply by paying per submission.

Elevate members get all Public Canvas submissions and features included for free, which is why most active artists upgrade after their first paid submission. See current campaigns.

Do I need to be a professional artist to join?

No. Creative Flair is open to everyone, from hobbyists and students to full-time creatives. Our goal is to support you wherever you are.

What do I get with a free account?

A free account lets you set up an artist profile, build a portfolio, view selected blog content, see opportunities, and follow other artists. You can also submit to The Public Canvas on a pay-per-submission basis.

What is included in the Elevate membership?

Elevate unlocks unlimited Public Canvas submissions, the full Resource Library, free courses, the full community and forums, and priority access to new opportunities.

Annual members also save £77 versus paying quarterly across the year (£89 × 4 = £356, versus £279 annual).

What’s the difference between Elevate and The Inner Studio?

Elevate is the platform membership: free Public Canvas submissions, the full Resource Library, courses, and the community here on the site.

The Inner Studio is a separate £10 a month community where you can ask anything about making and selling art, get honest feedback on your work, and join a live session each month. They work well together, and you can join either on its own. Take a look at The Inner Studio.

Can I cancel or change my plan?

Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time from your account settings. No hidden fees.

Why is Elevate only available quarterly or annually?

Creative Flair is built around longevity. We are a community platform designed to support and grow your practice over time, not just for a month or two.

Quarterly and annual billing lets us plan richer events, add more resources, and gives members the stability they need to grow. It also keeps our costs lower, which means more of your membership goes back into creating opportunities.

How often do you add new resources and events?

We add new templates, guides, and opportunities most weeks. From new articles to live sessions, there is something fresh in the platform regularly.

Is there support if I get stuck?

Yes. Our team monitors messages and the community Hub to help you troubleshoot or answer questions. Email [email protected] or message us directly in the Hub.

Can I make money through Creative Flair?

Yes. Approved members can earn from writing blog posts. You can also join our Affiliate programme to boost your earnings and help expand the community.

We are expanding other earning opportunities too, including course revenue share for instructors.

Do you offer student or group discounts?

We don’t have a public discount, but we occasionally run limited offers to our newsletter list.

If you are a student, you can email [email protected] directly to enquire about student plans.
