Inside Denver’s Cookie Factory Turned Art Gallery

Charli Ornett 5280

Once a fortune cookie mill, a 1940s building in Baker is reopening this weekend as an art space called, fittingly, the Cookie Factory. Visitors who crack open its doors will find something better than a proverb or lucky numbers: a 5,000-square-foot gallery, a sculpture garden, and video-screening rooms where motion arts play.

The brainchild of real estate developer and philanthropist Amanda J. Precourt, who lives above the gallery, Cookie Factory is free and open to the public.
