How do I colour the text frame of artistic text? I want the text frame to be white and the text to be black, but I don't see where I can colour a text frame or add strokes to them, like I can using Indesign or Illustrator.

You can use the Text Frame panel to do that, but only if you're using Publisher.

In Designer, you can set the background color of the text, using the Character panel, but that's not quite the same as what you want.

Just in the UI as a general how to showup change, or in order for placed artistic text usage on documents?

For the first, IMHO you can't change that for the UI-lookup. - For the latter, place a rect of the size of the artistic text below, group both together so you can handle them like one object. Change the rects stroke/fill colors to what you want.
