Our Story

Founded in 1957, the Yeiser Art Center has been at the heart of Paducah’s creative community for over six decades. Established with a commitment to nurture creativity and support both emerging and established artists. Our mission has always been to make art accessible and to foster an inclusive space for people of all ages and backgrounds.

We are proud to host a variety of exhibitions throughout the year, showcasing a diverse range of artistic styles and perspectives. In addition to our gallery exhibitions, the Yeiser Art Center is dedicated to community outreach, offering workshops, educational programs, and community events designed to inspire creativity and bring people together. Each piece displayed and every event hosted, is an invitation to explore, create, and engage in a dialogue that deepens our appreciation for the arts.

Our story is built on a foundation of passion, community, and a belief in the transformative power of the arts. We are honored to be a part of Paducah’s cultural heritage and look forward to continuing our work as a gathering place for artists, students, and art lovers alike. We invite you to be part of our journey as we continue to enrich lives and bring people together through creativity.
