Maddy Hepner, Canberra-based creative has included Nathan NHAN and Jackson TAYLOR in her most-recent round up of Canberra’s emerging arts scene. Jackson and Nathan’s representation with King Street Gallery on William commenced in 2025, and we’re delighted to be working with two awesome young artists.
Excerpt below from HerCanberra’s article, KSGoW extends a massive thank you to Maddy Hepner and HerCanberra – it’s awesome to have our two of artists featured in this round up! They’re in fabulous company.
‘The Canberra arts scene is one where I have always felt at home. I truly think it’s one of the city’s biggest assets. I have made countless friends, connections, and collaborations through this scene alone. I have grown tenfold as an artist, arts worker, and writer, and this does not exist in a vacuum.
Inspired by the recent Canberra Times list of 30 under 30 – a list highlighting young Canberrans excelling in their fields – as well as in response to Canberra vying for UNESCO recognition as a City of Design, and out of my utmost love and respect for the community that has shaped me into who I am, I’ve created my own list of 30 Canberra-based visual artists and practitioners to watch.
Because this talent needs to be recognised at all levels.
Artistic careers need to be uplifted — not only at the emerging stages, but at the crucial stages of mid-career and beyond. There needs to be better spotlights, funding opportunities, exposure and experiences.
Listed alphabetically, I hope this three-part series is a small step towards that. You can read Part One here and Part Two here.’
