The non-governmental organization "American Capital of Culture Organization" selects one city in the Americas annually to serve as the American Capital of Culture for a period of one year. The organization claims the initiative is based closely on the European Capital of Culture program; it enjoys the backing of the hemisphere-wide Organization of American States, but the OAS is not involved in the selection process. The American Capital of Culture initiative was born in 1997 and is aimed at all the countries of the Americas. 2, record 1, English, - American%20Capital%20of%20Culture
