TUCSON, Ariz. — Two Tucson-based artists have been named 2023 United States Art Fellows and they're making a big impact through their work in not just our community but many others.

She is a 5th generation Navajo tapestry weaver and is one of two Tucson-based artists to receive the USA Fellowship. Ofelia Zepeda is the second. She's a Tohono O'Odham poet, author and regents professor of linguistics at the University of Arizona. "I think that this award is an indication that writing in the native language or being a native person and writing is something that is unique and can be recognized at many levels," says Zepeda."It basically teaches for those who are not O'Odham, a little bit about the structure of the language, the sound of the language," Zepeda explained.
