Historic

The first project of organizing such an organism was initiated in 1997 by the director of the Centre for Culture and Arts “Carmen Saeculare” Neamt, prof. Constantin Alupului-Rus, under the name of the Association of the Directors of the Cultural Centres. Only two centres entered their names so the association could not be legalized. The debates were brought forward at the initiatives of the same director in 2006. The constitution of the association took place in Piatra-Neamt, on 12 October 2007, with the participation of 13 founder members:
