Storytelling Arts of Indiana

Storytelling Arts of Indiana Est. in 1988, SAI seeks to enrich, connect & entertain through the art & experience of storytelling.

In 1988, three friends set out to host a storytelling festival in Central Indiana, so they founded Stories, Inc. and what would become an annual event, the Hoosier Storytelling Festival, featuring Carol Birch, Celestine Bloomfield, Len Cabral, Syd Lieberman and Jim May. With the help of many talented community members, the organization, now known as Storytelling Arts of Indiana, currently offers y

ear-round programming for diverse audiences. From weekly storytelling at a local children's hospital to workshops on using storytelling in business and education, SAI seeks opportunities to infuse the art of storytelling into everyday life.
