Nominative determinism.
They're both performing, but there are levels to it. Someone making small talk at a party's performing, but it's usually not as deliberate and conscious a performance as an artist getting on stage and playing their music. It's done with a different intent, intensity, and set of expectations.

I don't think artists are especially authentic or open; output tends to be much more narrow than what one assumes can or could be happening in their heads.
Nor is artistic creation primarily communicative rather than just being a form of thought.

Why does it need to be externalised then? You can just do the whole thing in your head.
Neither do I, but I think making art is an act of openness because you're creating something outside yourself that other people can access. The same goes for public speaking or anything where you stick yourself in front of other people. You can be totally insincere, but you're still on stage showing people how insincere you are rather than keeping it to yourself.

It's assisted thought, because it can't be done all in one's head.
The primary communicative process is with one's self, as one gets to see how one builds on this expressed thinking through its continued expression...creative work is fun for that reason rather than for its reception by others...being in the process of creation is its own reward.

I don't rule out this aspect, I just think the major satisfaction is something else.
Most people do something creative but most of them have no desire for a substantial audience. Artists who optimise for audience contact probably lose personal interest in their own work because they are no longer communicating with themselves e.g. the technically masterful songwriter sausage machines of the hit parade.
