PATCHWORK A STORYTELLING GUILD is an arts organization in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. We incorporated as a 501c3 non-profit organization in 1984 in response to the decline of storytelling in the oral tradition due, in part, to growing trends in multimedia and technology. Patchwork remains dedicated to the survival of the art form and provides opportunities for training, performance, and education, along with encouragement and an open forum for storytellers and audiences to connect.
