Having creative pretensions (4)

I believe the answer is:

arty

(Other definitions for arty that I've seen before include "aesthetic pretensions" , "Making a point of appearing interested in painting, sculpture etc" , "Pretentiously affected" , "Affectedly artistic" , "Interested in painting, music, literature, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
