The association was able, with some foreign and local support, to establish a headquarters in the center of the country, at the intersection of Adly Street and Mohamed Street. unique. On the second floor, there is now a headquarters where all poets, writers, musicians, and artists gather, and all those who belong to all forms of creativity.
