Through external partnerships and the generous support of grants and donations, Lighthouse can provide access to programs for communities that have a specific need to connect with the literary arts. Explore some of our current partnerships, including support for healthcare providers, front-line workers, and veterans.

CORAL
Colorado Resiliency Arts Lab (CORAL) is one of a handful of research labs supported by the National Endowment for the Arts. We encourage healthcare providers to find a creative outlet and establish a sense of community through the arts. By creating a more engaged workforce, we can support healthcare professionals in their efforts to improve patient outcomes, enhance patient and family satisfaction, and reduce healthcare costs.
Write to Connect
Thanks to the generosity of the Arts in Society Grant, in collaboration with local social service organizations, Write to Connect offers multi-week creative writing workshops for front-line staff, who are compensated to attend. Led by experienced Lighthouse faculty, these workshops offer a space for participants to engage with the literary arts to process their experiences–including highs and lows; triumphs and traumas–and build connections and camaraderie with others.
Writing for Veterans
Lighthouse is honored to have funds available specifically for veterans, made possible through the generous support of Prevent & Prevail. To qualify for this funding, indicate your veteran status when you apply for tuition assistance.
Lighthouse also hosts annual multi-week writing workshops in partnership with the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center. These workshops are designed to help veterans learn new writing forms, find a creative community, and build on their current skills in poetry, short stories, essays, and more.
