M. Perry Ayers, the founder and artistic director of the Colorado Black Arts Festival, has passed away, organizers announced Tuesday. He was 71 years old.
Ayers was a man of many talents — a dancer with Cleo Parker Robinson Dance in the 70s and a metal art and jewelry artist. The Colorado Black Arts Festival called Ayers"a true visionary."
“What an outstanding and awesome man that lived a great inspirational life,” Dr. Michael A. Williams, music director and minister of music at Emmanuel Missionary Baptist Church, said in a statement.
