Angela Portillo is a contemporary artist who works with mixed media. Through her assimilation of different textures, colors, even line objects, she captures a scenery through each of her artworks that redirects her to a specific moment in time.

Latino Conservation Week was created to support the Latino community getting into the outdoors and participating in activities to protect our natural resources. Crandon Park is one of seven heritage parks acquired by Miami-Dade County. With amenities such as Crandon Gardens, Biscayne Nature Center, a marina, golf course and tennis center, Crandon Park is visited by locals and tourists who enjoy the many recreational opportunities afforded.
