in seguito alla proroga del termine ultimo di consegna dei progetti artistici di twocalls al 30 aprile 2015, si segnalano qui le modalità attraverso cui sarà possibile, nei prossimi mesi, visitare la Diga del Vajont.
A partire da novembre, non sono più previste infatti visite quotidiane alla Diga, come invece nel periodo estivo.
Lo stesso Spazio di Casso, chiuderà al pubblico a partire dal 9 novembre.
Le visite alla Diga saranno dunque possibili, d’ora in poi, solo un giorno a settimana.
Le date e gli orari verranno indicate, di volta in volta, su questo website e sulla pagina facebook di twocalls. E’ necessario prenotare la visita, che è gratuita, attenendosi con precisione agli orari stabiliti. La visita parte dal parcheggio della Diga. Nei giorni previsti per le visite, personale di Dolomiti Contemporanee sarà presente presso il Nuovo Spazio di Casso.
Prossime date:
- martedì 4 novembre, ore 11.00
