The RiverPark Center is the arts and cultural center for the Owensboro-Daviess County region. Mixed Media visited in the summer of 2004 when the center was hosting rehearsals for a New York production company getting set to tour the Broadway musical 42nd Street in Japan.

RiverPark recently welcomed a new president and CEO, Zev Baufmann. He has plans for revamping the center with more artistic programs, festivals, workshops, and renowned productions like 42nd Street; a renewed sense of community; and a commitment to booking and producing all types of events.
