Storytelling is an age-old art. Originally the principle means for imparting news and knowledge, it is a powerful tool for communicating history and values, as stories come from every culture, time and place. Storytelling involves the projection of mental, descriptive and emotional images using the spoken word, signs and gesture. Its interactive quality heightens it effectiveness for educational and literary uses, involving the listener as well as the storyteller.

The Guild provides professional level artistic interaction for the development of storytellers, as well as storytelling resources for the community, through educational programs, training, research, productions and referrals. The Guild offers periodic classes in storytelling, and provides information on local, regional, and national storytelling events. The Guild also maintains a current list of storytellers available to the community.
