About the House of Art and Culture of Villa Berna
About the House of Art and Culture of Villa Berna
This construction is located in the center of Villa Berna and it will be a multipurpose space for meetings, workshops and cultural events. In addition, it will be a place to document the history of this village.
The reconstruction of the House of Berna is being carried out in stages.
During the first stage, which is now completed, the following work was carried out:
🛠️ A new sheet metal roof with insulation and a wood ceiling was installed.
👷 Part of the construction that was compromised was demolished.
🧹The perimeter of the land around the construction was cleared.
🪟Windows were repaired.
⚡The exterior light pillar was installed, authorization was requested from the electric cooperative, and the electrician is currently carrying out the internal electrical installation.
This great advance was achieved thanks to the volunteer work of the residents of Villa Berna. And now we want you to help us achieve even more!
