Our New Home

    Arts organizations like the Denver Art Museum, Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Museum for Contemporary Art, and Lighthouse all bring the power and potential of art into our community in tangibly impactful ways. Lighthouse alone focuses on the ways the art of writing can teach, heal, connect, challenge, and inspire.

    We aim to keep leading the way—and to invite even more people in our community to experience the transformative power of writing and reading.

    Our Vision

    Art connects community. Story brings us together. Learn how our future home will continue to bring readers and writers together in 2023 and beyond.

    Keep that light burning bright

    Lighthouse Writers Workshop, true to its name, is a beacon of light, creativity, and hope, not just for Denver, but for all of us who find our way there from afar, feel inspired and nourished, and then carry its light to our benighted provinces, hearts, and writing projects. It is precisely the kind of grassroots/community institution that our country, and the world, needs right now. If you’re going to invest in the future—and in the present—keep that light burning bright.
