About Broadstone Media
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
Broadstone Media LLC is a cultural promotion company based in
Frankfort, Kentucky, founded in 2003 by long-time friends Stephan L.
Taylor and Larry W Moore.
The name “Broadstone” is an amalgam of Broadway and Limestone,
for the streets in Lexington, Kentucky where we attended college
(respectively, Transylvania University for Moore and the University of
Kentucky for Taylor). The name is thus an homage to the time when
we first began a life-long commitment to arts and letters as well as a
hint at the breadth of the company’s scope. By chartering our
company to promote cultural activities generally, we are able to
pursue their wide range of interests.
In 2003, under the imprint Broadstone Books, we began a publishing
venture with Frankfort author Sheila Bucy Potter’s Home Place and
Other Poems as our first title. Since then we have issued one or two
titles a year, including works by Kentucky writers Frederick Smock,
Steven Cope, Vickie Cimprich, Paul M. Pearson and particularly,
Jonathan Greene. Greene, himself a publisher and book designer for
over forty years, has designed all of the Broadstone publications and
has been an essential mentor for our publishing efforts. Broadstone
Books has so far specialized in poetry and in works relating to Thomas
Merton, though there are no restrictions on genre or subject for
consideration for publication by the press.
In 2004 we established the Broadstone Gallery @ KECU, an
alternative art space located in the lobby of the Kentucky Employees
Credit Union in Frankfort. Inspired by artist Stephanie Potter (a
frequent exhibitor), the Broadstone Gallery is devoted to displaying
original art by new and established local and regional artists working
in a wide range of media, providing a venue for artists to connect with
viewers who don't necessarily go to art galleries, and an opportunity
for credit union members, staff and visitors to enjoy a rotating exhibit
of original art.
In keeping with our expansive charter, Broadstone has also engaged in
other ventures including sponsorship of local theatre (Taylor is a
playwright whose original works and adaptations have been
performed in local venues) and of annual prizes for the Kentucky State
Poetry Society.
