VENTURA, Calif. (AP) — Rapper and singer Anderson .Paak is lending his support to an arts center facing closure in his Southern California hometown of Oxnard.

The Grammy-winner visited the Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center and urged his fans to donate to keep the city-owned facility open, the Ventura County Star reported Wednesday.

His Brandon Anderson Foundation said donated money would be set aside for the center, but .Paak himself made no financial commitments.

The 33-year-old said he wants to house his foundation at the center to create a space where people could record music, rehearse plays and have boxing matches.

“I want this to be a hub for creativity,” .Paak said. “The city deserves it.”
