This partnership is made even more special because Yukari started visiting the California Academy of Sciences when she was two years old, and continued as she grew up. The California Academy of Sciences’ exhibits, paired with a myriad of dinosaur movies, has been an inspiration for her dinosaur artwork, as well as her other animal and nature artwork, over the years. This May, Yukari got to visit the product launch of this new merch featuring her artwork of dinosaurs, at the member preview of The World’s Largest Dinosaurs Exhibition. 

The products turned out amazing and pair perfectly with this exciting exhibition. ⁠ We can’t wait for you to see Yukari’s amazing Jurassic products and immerse yourself in the wonders of The World's Largest Dinosaurs exhibition at the California Academy of Sciences.

As longtime fans of Creativity Explored, we were thrilled to be able to partner with artist Yukari Sakura on the design of merchandise for our new Worlds Largest Dinosaurs exhibit. With this collaboration, we not only celebrate the boundless potential of Creativity Explored and their remarkable artist, Yukari Sakura, but also extend a warm invitation to the community at large to embrace the captivating world of dinosaurs through the lens of her art. Yukari’s love of animals and dinosaurs comes through strongly in her work, which embodies the joy and whimsy many people feel when visiting the Academy. We’re thrilled that dinosaur fans of all ages can remember their visit with merchandise featuring Yukari’s beautiful artwork.
