INTEREST & INTRIGUE. Specializing in a certain kind of visual arts, books, and flicks style, The Beyond is your gateway to the odd.
A new shop has quietly popped up over on Dewey Street in downtown Eau Claire. Now ready for your arrival, The Beyond offers a treasure trove for creatives, collectors, and the curious – a vibrant accumulation of all kinds of media, art, and various oddities.
A shop like this refuses to be defined by a label. Some call it an “eclectic hobby and gift shop,” others a “movie store,” “book store,” or even an “art gallery.” The beauty lies in its design: every visitor’s experience is shaped by the item that draws them in.
Collectors at heart, the owners of The Beyond (who, appropriately enough, wish to maintain their anonymity) have perfected the art of sourcing, keeping the inventory fresh with new additions every day.
At The Beyond, quality wins over quantity. They aim to add or switch up the shop’s inventory daily so that returning visitors can dive into something new every time they walk through the door.
The shop’s collection is a celebration of all things past, present, and future – a place where old inspirations meet new creativity. With media and art from the past shaping what we create today, The Beyond captures the endless cycle of inspiration and imagination.
Though they offer a selection of books, VHS tapes, and DVDs, The Beyond is more than just a shop for collectors. It’s also a space for the local art community to shine. Each artist who contributes brings fresh energy to the shop, and the owners are always eager to collaborate with creators of any style.
No matter what you’re looking for, The Beyond aims to have something for everyone. When you visit, be prepared to feel excitement, surprise, inspiration, and curiosity.
The Beyond isn’t just a store – it’s an experience waiting to be discovered.
The Beyond (218 N. Dewey St., Eau Claire) is currently open Monday-Saturday from 11am-7pm and Sunday from 11am-5pm. Keep up with The Beyond on Instagram (@thebeyondeauclaire).
