This weekend’s Second Saturday Art Walk, the Wynwood and Design District arts romp, will get going at 6 p.m., when you can catch Mark Messersmith’s “Blighted Eden” at Bernice Steinbaum Gallery. The artist presents canvases weaving a tale of man’s destructive intrusion into Florida’s pristine natural splendor. Rather than evoking a specific place, his landscapes transport viewers to a raped eco-zone somewhere amid urban sprawl, shopping malls, trailer parks, and other man-made eyesores. Admission is free.
