Together, Inéz Nunez de Arco and Javier Stell-Frésquez are co-producers of the Weaving Spirits Festival of Two-Spirit Performance, where they create cultural space for Indigenous, queer, trans and Two-Spirit communities through multidisciplinary art, performance and collective care.

Born and working on Chochenyo territory in Oakland, Calif., and rooted in Chuquiago Marka, La Paz, Bolivia, she has spent more than a decade organizing, painting and creating sound work centered on autonomous Q/T/2S+ BIPOC cultural spaces. Their practice is shaped by accountability to past and future generations.

Isaac Lucero Creative West Artist Fund 2025 Denver, Colorado
Isaac Lucero

Isaac Lucero is a Xicano tattoo and multimedia artist from southwest Denver who incorporates his culture, community, and family into every aspect of his work. Specializing in black-and-gray tattooing, his style is heavily influenced by graffiti, Chicano heritage, and the storytelling traditions of his ancestors. For more than 15 years, he has been creating art that not only decorates skin but also reflects identity and resilience.

Outside the tattoo studio, Lucero is committed to giving back to his community. He collaborates with local nonprofits in Westwood, mentoring and working with youth and donating his time to ensure the next generation has access to creativity and cultural expression. Whether through ink, murals, or mentorship, he views his art as a tool for empowerment.

At the core of his work is his family. A devoted husband and father, Lucero balances his passion for art with his dedication to being present for his loved ones. He currently works out of a private studio in Arvada, Colorado.
