Over the past five years, Gainesville’s storytelling community has transformed from a relatively obscure art form to a widely recognized community, with multiple opportunities to hear and share great stories every month. There are a few organizations fostering this growing storytelling community, and at Story Summit, three of them come together at Heartwood Soundstage to showcase some of their best storytellers. At Story Summit, you’ll hear some of the best storytelling that Gainesville has to offer, curated by the organizers of Self Narrate, Guts & Glory GNV, and The Conch.
Our first five Story Summits event were held in 2018-2020. Stay tuned for information about the next Story Summit!.
