Hello Kitty is turning 35, and there's no better venue for her birthday party than Royal/T, Culver City's own art space, store, and Japanese-inspired "maid café." Celebrating the adorable pop icon's massive influence on art and culture, Three Apples (a reference to Hello Kitty's weight) features one-of-a-kind displays, events, and a Sanrio pop-up shop where fans have the opportunity to stock up on Hello Kitty-related bounty. Over 30 artists, including Gary Baseman and Luke Chueh, interpret Hello Kitty in an art show curated by owner of JapanLA, Jamie Rivadeneira, with a portion of proceeds going to charity. There's also an apartment installation and a Hello Kitty retrospective, honoring the enduring celebrity of a childhood legend.
