Temporary Exhibits

beyond anna

Sept. 21-Nov. 24, 2024

The Huron County Museum is pleased to host beyond ana, a new art exhibit by Blyth artist Kelly Stevenson. beyond ana is both a tribute to a voice lost before its time and a catalyst to start conversations.

Sarah Stevenson was just 18 in 1997 when she lost her years long battle with anorexia. That loss left a lifelong mark on her then 6 year old cousin Kelly who has spent the years since trying to come to terms with Sarah’s death, and advocate for better access to proper treatments and a shift in society’s understanding of eating disorders and those who battle them.

With beyond ana Stevenson aims to open the viewers eyes and hearts to the reality and humanity of those who live with illnesses that are so often misunderstood and caricatured as simply being “young women’s diseases” rooted in vanity.

This exhibit is included with regular admission to the Huron County Museum, or free with Museum membership or a Huron County Library card.

Content Warning: beyond ana explores the impacts of eating disorders, including anorexia, and may not be appropriate for all audiences.
