Obituary: Stephen Palmer, passionate arts worker who believed in power of creativity


Born: December 28, 1968;
Died: June 7, 2021
Stephen Palmer, who has died aged 52, was a highly regarded and deeply respected arts development officer who made the business of arts funding human, understandable and non-threatening.
My long-term colleague and friend, Stephen was born in Stockton on Tees to parents Barbara and David and was the middle brother of David and Victoria.
