Artistic liberties

A favored term of filmmakers who create films based on or around a historical event/person/era that holds little historical accuracy, usually for the sake of making the film seem more interesting than the reality it's based on, and by extension, possibly drawing in larger crowds and making more money at the box office.
Such extensive artistic liberties were taken with Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette" that it was booed at Cannes.

When George Hickenlooper was questioned as to why his '06 film, "Factory Girl", had been panned so severely by Warhol scholars, he spoke of his artistic liberties taken with the film.

Secret Artist Society

A group of artists who travel the world. In each hotel they stay in, they remove a painting on the wall and paint their own artwork behind it, then when they are finished they put the painting back on the wall so their own art work is unseen. Then, when the hotel room is redecorated, the picture is taken down and the people are shocked to find another person has painted a fabulous artwork behind it!

Other than this, little is known about the Secret Artist Society.
Person 1: I stayed in the hotel the other night and accidentally knocked a picture off the wall, and there was another painting on the wall behind it!

Person 2: It's time I let you in on a little secret... The Secret Artist Society!
