The Colorado Black Arts Festival (CBAF), a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, has its humble beginnings with Perry Ayers, his brother Oye Oginga and a small contingent of artists and art lovers who created, developed and established the Denver Black Arts Festival in 1986.
The Colorado Black Arts Festival has received many awards, hosted national and international performing and visual arts, sports and entertainment celebrities and political leaders. This distinction has placed the CBAF as one of the premiere African American arts and cultural festivals in the United States.
