Founded in 2004, the Luther F. Carson Four Rivers Center (Carson Center) of Paducah, Kentucky, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Carson Center’s mission is to serve the Four Rivers region by presenting exceptional live performances and cultural experiences that entertain, educate, and enrich the community. The idea for Carson Center emerged in the 1990s as part of a broader vision to revitalize downtown Paducah and provide a venue capable of hosting large-scale productions for the region. Construction began in 2001, and the facility opened to the public in 2004 with a gala celebration and inaugural performance season.

The Executive Director of the Carson Center will provide vision, leadership, and strategic direction to advance the mission and ensure artistic vitality, financial stability, and community impact. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director will oversee all programs, fundraising, operations, and administration while fostering collaboration among staff, board, and volunteers. As the Carson Center’s principal ambassador, the Executive Director will be a visible presence in the community and beyond, cultivating partnerships, engaging supporters, and strengthening the Carson Center’s profile as a cultural cornerstone for the region.
