Who would have known Swizz Beats is in to art. We know he is creative with his beats but who would have also thought art too.

“I want to create a gallery, a place that’s very well-known, for people to come and learn about new artists around the world,” Swizz Beatz says in an interview with Complex.com. “I want to make the gallery like a globe, and when you walk into it, it’s labeled by country. So if you want to find the hot new artist from India, we have that hot new artist from India, and you can connect with artists in Africa, Brazil and beyond.”

But while Swizz Beatz says he simply views himself as creative, he says that others often limit themselves in terms of their own creativity.

Swizz Beatz plans to help discover new artists with his forthcoming gallery, which he wants to be a rich sensory experience, not “just white walls with some titles.””If we use the outlets that art gives us, then the world can become a more creative place for everybody who’s stuck in these boxes. And I don’t know how to be stuck in a box.”
