“Someday Is Now: The Art of Corita Kent”; Blues vs. Pens (CPs Tues., 3/24/15)

Here’s lookin’ at you, kid: Corita Kent’s “E eye love” is part of a major exhibit at The Warhol. (Image courtesy of Corita Art Center, Los Angeles.)

1) This is not about the 1960s TV sitcom “The Flying Nun.” The real nun who really took off then was Sister Mary Corita Kent. While teaching art at a small Catholic college, she skyrocketed to fame through her own artwork, a major collection of which is now on display at The Andy Warhol Museum. The show, titled Someday Is Now: The Art of Corita Kent, is a natural one for the museum. Kent worked in (and pushed the boundaries of) a medium that Warhol also favored, silkscreen printing. The exhibit includes a big sampling of Kent’s early pieces along with many of the works she did after leaving the sisterhood in 1968 and becoming a full-time artist. Through April 19. 10 a.m – 5 p.m. 117 Sandusky St., North Side.

2) The Pens are still searching for the elusive formula for massive success. Tonight they get another opportunity to work out the kinks with a 7 p.m. game against the St. Louis Blues. Consol Energy Center, 1001 Fifth Ave., Uptown.

3) Getaway to the tropics with a trip to Brillobox for Tropical Tuesdays. There you’ll feel the trade winds (heat flowing from ducts) soothing your overdue vacation bones. Here’s a sampling of their specials: $3 select craft cans, $4 frozen drinks, $10 California bubble bath, $10 Eva Peron, $7 Fernet con cola, and $6 Coronita Margaveza. You can also sop up the island drinks with $7 pineapple soy-glazed chicken or tofu skewers served with Caribbean sweet potato salad. Shoes and shirt required. 5 p.m. – 2 a.m. 4104 Penn Ave., Bloomfield.
