Public exhibitions for artists to be seen

A New Way to Exhibit

The Public Canvas (fomally Art on The Streets) is Creative Flair’s flagship billboard programme, placing contemporary artworks on digital screens across major cities and transforming public advertising space into curated public exhibitions.

Your work appears in the city, in motion, in front of thousands of people each day.

The Public Canvas is designed for artists who want their work to exist beyond the studio, beyond social media, and beyond closed doors.

Each campaign places selected artworks on large format digital billboards, rotating on screen so every artist receives equal presence and visibility.

What artists say after being featured

"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. The event itself was well organised and thoughtfully curated, with clear, regular communication and updates throughout. It’s rare to feel truly seen as an emerging artist, but this event created exactly that feeling. I’m deeply grateful to James for creating something so welcoming, so well-run, and so full of genuine love for the arts."

Julia Lambert Abstract Artist

'It was such a delight to be part of Creative Flair's Art on the Streets Week - what a thrill to see 'The Obscured Mother' on billboards across London! I couldn't have dreamed of having my work showcased in this way and I'm so grateful for the opportunity. It was a superb end to the year! I can't wait to see what James does next with this project and hope many more artists get to enjoy an experience like this"

Amy Haynes Photographer

"The London billboard project was an important step in expanding the public presence of my work within an international urban context. One of the artworks presented in this project was mine, showcased alongside works by several other artists in some of the city’s most active and high-traffic locations. James managed the project very well, with clarity, strong organization, and a precise placement strategy. The locations were selected to maximize visual visibility and public reach, resulting in a coherent and high-impact public activation. Thank you and much appreciation , James"

Adela Osmani Artist

"The Art on the Streets project was a wonderful experience. James was consistently helpful and genuinely supportive, with a clear focus on putting artists first. Communication was easy, there were no issues at all, and the overall experience was professional and comfortable. In short a stress-free collaboration."

Fatima M Khan Artist

"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. To have something I created recognised felt huge. 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.” It felt like a real “we did this” moment and has absolutely given me the boost to continue with my creative vision. I also just want to say how amazing your communication was throughout. You were clear, supportive and genuinely lovely to deal with, which made the whole experience feel exciting rather than stressful. When you’re juggling motherhood, marriage, work, life and creativity, that kind of clear and friendly communication really matters. It really made all the difference."

Larissa Padgett Artist

"I want to say a huge thank you to Creative Flair for featuring my artwork in the Art on The Streets London Art Fair Edition. It’s given me the confidence boost I needed. Seeing my work displayed in lights across London was an incredible experience and such an inspiring start to 2026."
