The acronym SUBONE stands for supplying urban beautification offering new experiences; it is a moniker for painter Tim Clorius who is the founder and director of SUBONE Mural Workshops. Clorius works in tandem with arts coordinator Andrew Coffin to offer mural workshops to Portland youth and has also been commissioned to do numerous public murals on the Portland peninsula. The mural workshops foster creativity and provide an outlet for youth to express their views and opinions. Clorius and Coffin teamed up with Piribeck, Deck and Gray to create a monumental tag in a large field in the East Bayside neighborhood. The idea was to provide a positive cultural sign that would be recognized by neighborhood residents, many of whom had worked with members of the team on other community art projects.
