Meet Dwight Carter

If St. Louis doesn’t have it yet, I’m already figuring out how to build it.
I’m Dwight Carter—born and raised here, and completely committed to turning big ideas into unforgettable experiences. For me, event production isn’t just a job—it’s a way to spark conversation, connect people, and give our city the kind of moments it deserves.

Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked across fashion, music, and live events—producing everything from GENT Men’s Fashion Week to design competitions like Pins and Needles and Fashion Anarchy. I love collaborating with local creatives, building platforms for talent to shine, and giving students real opportunities to step into the industry. When I’m not producing, I’m mentoring—because the future of our city belongs to the next generation of makers and doers.

What I’m all about:

  • Creative Vision: Turning “what if” into “remember when.”

  • Love for St. Louis: Showcasing the city’s unique energy to the world.

  • Championing Local Talent: Helping artists, designers, and entrepreneurs get the spotlight they deserve.

  • Supporting Students: Opening doors, sharing tools, and cheering them on every step of the way.

  • Filling the Voids: Seeing what’s missing—and creating it.
