Patchwork Storytelling Guild

Patchwork: A Storytelling Guild was founded in 1984 in response to the decline of storytelling in the oral tradition due, in part, to growing trends in multimedia and technology.

Patchwork promotes storytelling as a vibrant, contemporary art form, as well as a folk tradition, a way of celebrating life, and a tool for personal and social transformation.

Patchwork's vision is to enable storytellers a forum to make complex ideas plain and meaningful through the art of storytelling, to highlight that similarities outweigh differences among people and cultures, and to forge paths to informed and humane decision-making.
