The new building features industrial-style metal bookshelves, high ceilings, a kitchen for coffee and catering, event spaces, classrooms with soundproofing and smart TVs
Once upon a time , a young lit-loving couple named Andrea Dupree and Michael J. Henry shared a vision for creating a welcoming space where writers could feel less solitary and help improve each other’s skills.Lighthouse Writers Workshop grew beyond their wildest ambitions and has succeeded in putting the Mile High City on America’s literary map.
Dupree and Henry are in the happily-ever-after days. What began in their living room systematically outgrew more than half a dozen artsy but problematic locations around Denver over the past 25 years. With each move, Lighthouse attracted more collaborators and talent until the COVID-19 pandemic brought unexpected good fortune. The shift to virtual teaching vastly expanded its reach and led to a game-changing grant.
Architect Collin Kemberlin, known for redesigns of Denver Union Station, History Colorado Center and other stylish landmarks, fashioned the newly finished Lighthouse building to complement its red-brick surroundings in the historic York Street Yards complex at 38th and York Street, with an emphasis on energy efficiency and ADA compliance.
“Chris was a beloved teacher here. Mayor Hickenlooper appointed him as poet laureate, and he was a big supporter of the literary arts,” Henry said. Ransick taught courses at Lighthouse for years in its previous iterations.
