Our Mission

The Utah Storytelling Guild is a non-profit organization established to nurture, foster and promote the art form and practice of storytelling.

Our Story

After the first Timpanogos Storytelling Festival in 1990, four Utah storytellers got together to create the Utah Storytelling Guild. Since that day, the guild has grown and chapters have been created to offer local meetings for tellers to convein. The guild has fostered the art of storytelling in our state.

Our Programs

Chapters - Local Chapters have monthly meetings to promote storytelling in your area and provide the opportunity to develop and share your stories.
Taleswapper - The Taleswapper is a bi-monthly newsletter offered to guild members, containing stories, suggestions, reviews, performing opportunities, and local storytelling information. An online version is also available to guild members.
This Website - Bringing the best and most talented area storytellers to you and together.

Artwork

The artwork used to create this website was commissioned by the Utah Storytelling Guild in 1995 from Storyboard Artist Kevin Gollaher. A Proclamation was made to declare March 4, 1995 Storytelling Day in the State of Utah. The Proclamation was signed by Governor Michael O. Leavitt. Read the Proclamation.
