Celebrating lots and lots and lots of dots at South Derry Library
Press release | Sep 08, 2026 | Comments 0
The South Londonderry Free Library invites kids and grownups too to join art teacher Casey Junker Bailey for our annual celebration of International Dot Day at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 19. This year will focus on artist Yayoi Kusama who created her distinctive art using lots and lots and lots of dots.
The South Londonderry Free Library is joining over 26 million children and adults around the globe in 200 countries and sovereign territories to celebrate International Dot Day – a grassroots “creativity and courage” movement, started in 2009 by a teacher in Iowa. Inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ classic storybook for all ages The Dot, International Dot Day inspires young and old to embrace the power of personal creativity to help make their mark on the world.
Inspired by the story The Dot and by the creativity of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, who made her mark on the world, artists of all ages are invited to dress in polka dots and join us in making Dot Masterpieces. Thanks to a grant from Vermont Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts, participants will receive a free copy of the book Yayoi Kusama Covered everything In Dots And Wasn’t Sorry.
The program is free of charge and appropriate for all ages. For more information contact the library at 802- 824-3371.
