Hometown manufacturer 3M supports new Yayoi Kusama Dots for Love and Peace in Wellington, NZ.

“3M and SignSquad recently joined forces to cover the the City Art Gallery in Wellington in a whole lot of dots. The team worked 10-hours a day, six days a week for three weeks and had to warm every dot and roll it on to the sandstone surface by hand.

“‘3M has a history of producing innovative products,’ says Justin White, 3M sales specialist for commercial graphics. ‘When the City Gallery Wellington challenged us to apply that same level of innovation to the use of our products, we jumped at the chance.'”
