MACEDON, N.Y. — Singer Alicia Keys and music producer husband Swizz Beats are planning to create a performing arts centre in upstate New York.

The couple’s proposal to transform an industrial site in rural Macedon was introduced at a town board meeting Thursday.

Linda Shaw, an attorney for Keys and her husband, whose real name is Kasseem Dean, says the project will re-purpose three vacant buildings to include a classroom, an office building, an art exhibit hall and a performing arts centre.

The Democrat and Chronicle reports the centre is a part of The Dean Collection, the couple’s organization that focuses on supporting artists.
