about us
Super-Stories was launched in 2022 by Grace Lang and Ramiro Davaro-Comas, artists and educators located in upstate New York.
Mission Statement:
Super-Stories is a registered 501(c) 3 non-profit that focuses on community storytelling through public art, hands-on making experiences, and partnerships with local artists and educators. We believe deeply in the power of developing a visual language to better understand ourselves and others. We are dedicated to cultivating a creative community in Columbia County and beyond by engaging with people of all ages and backgrounds, providing space for curiosity, collaboration, exploration and personal expression.
Vision:
Super-Stories is committed to providing both free and paid art-making opportunities in our Makers Space and through off-site programming. We trust the power of public art to communicate with broad audiences and feel these large-scale artworks are most compelling when they center the voices of students. Our mural collaborations and other hands-on art workshops offer young people the chance to build confidence, focus, and critical thinking skills. The spaces in which we teach will always be safe, accepting, and socially inclusive. We believe in the ripple effect of sharing knowledge: If you know something, teach it!
