You can’t access DK Artist Mode from the overworld of Donkey Kong Bananza. It’s only accessible from the title screen. (If you’re in the game, you can return to the title screen by pressing the “+” button and then accessing the save data menu to return to the title screen.)

Donkey Kong Bananza marks the first major first-party release from Nintendo since the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2.

A reader is very impressed by Donkey Kong Bananza on the Nintendo Switch 2 and praises it for focusing on being a video game above all else.
