SUBPAR stands for “Syracuse Urban Beautification Public Art Resistance”.

SUBPAR aims to create street art installations that force beauty into the urban surroundings.</p><p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(76, 76, 76); margin: 10px 0pt 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTrUugYDrSB5IX99FiwqydSUP7hcoX6UkeJ9-J9ZpLZ2dMZKHEXp_YaFYHrpcwb6QXR87W-W0TZTl_I_sPmbLFvTDgWwJq8AGOeH8r6jx-a5ErnRwo4WodHcSvb87VYvYUjUxX94WmQ65X/s1600/test+tile+copy.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 336px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTrUugYDrSB5IX99FiwqydSUP7hcoX6UkeJ9-J9ZpLZ2dMZKHEXp_YaFYHrpcwb6QXR87W-W0TZTl_I_sPmbLFvTDgWwJq8AGOeH8r6jx-a5ErnRwo4WodHcSvb87VYvYUjUxX94WmQ65X/s400/test+tile+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566683963296434066" border="0" /></a></p> <span style="font-size:100%;"><strong style="font-family: arial;">We had the opportunity to present a project at the first ever </strong><a href="http://saltcitydishes.blogspot.com/" style="text-decoration: none; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128);">Salt City DISHES</span></strong></a><strong style="font-family: arial;"> and we won!
