In this month’s edition of ‘The Start of Something…’ we speak to our dear friend and collaborator, the artist Stephen Broadbent.

Stephen and his studio enable and create award-winning art in the public realm for cities across the UK, and we’ve been working together for over 30 years – before the start of Planit. 

What unites all of Stephen’s projects is where he begins – with the context. His work, with us and others, begins with creating a vision for a place and how it can make you feel right there, in that place; his passion for delving deep into local identity, history and storytelling acts as the catalyst to bringing members of the community alongside our collective work and into our city’s squares, parks and gardens.

His care, spirituality and passion are clear to hear. 

Planit and Stephen continue to work on numerous projects of differing scales across a variety of geographies and media. We began together in Sheffield and along the way have collaborated around stadia, research facilities, market squares and streets - including our home town of Altrincham and its now famous Market.
