Stephen Broadbent, 'Keeping Faith in Art’

Stephen Broadbent is a leading British sculptor who has produced public works across the UK and for international audiences too. Closer to home, Stephen is the artist behind 'A Celebration of Chester' which stands outside Chester Town Hall and the marvellous 'Water of Life' sculpture that sits within the cloisters of Chester Cathedral. His inspirational sculpture 'Challenge' now stands in the grounds of the University of Chester Exton Park campus, outside the Chester School of Education, which is the venue of the lecture. 

In this talk, Stephen will be drawing on over 40 years experience of working as an artist, sculptor and designer. During his presentation, he will also reflect on the ways in which he has reconciled a Christian world view to the contemporary culture in which he lives and works. 

At 5.30pm before the talk, there will be a dedication to officially mark the installation of the ‘Challenge’ sculpture opposite the venue of this public lecture.
