Pursuant to the provisions of the decree of 8 June 2010 for the organization of the missions of the Cultural Affairs Directorates and the decree of 17 December 2010 on the organization and missions of the State services in the overseas departments and regions, the Cultural Affairs Directorate of Martinique has joined the Department of Architecture and Heritage (SDAP). The merger of the SDAP and the heritage service of the DAC has thus made it possible to provide a unique State response to the questions raised in the field of heritage, architecture and urban planning in the cultural field.
Then, from 1 January 2011, it took the name of Cultural Affairs Directorate of Martinique (CAD).
DAC Martinique has four ambitions:
Making culture a driving force for spatial planning, by promoting the architectural quality and the establishment of cultural facilities on communal territories unequally endowed with broadcasting structures;
Promoting arts education and higher education, to democratize access to culture, the reappropriation of heritage and better enable the affirmation of a plural identity;
Strengthening regional cooperationto position Martinique as a major player in cultural action in the Caribbean region;
Making culture a driver of economic growth, by supporting the dissemination of cultural production in all its forms and its development for tourism purposes.

The premises
Since the end of 2012, and thanks to the construction of premises for the service of archaeology, all the services of the direction of cultural affairs are grouped on the site of Didier; the main building is the villa "les Pergolas" built in the late 1920s by Raoul De Jaham, a self-taught architect. The villa reflects a certain modernist inspiration offered by the recent use of concrete and the Art Deco style marks some interior details.
