On Sunday the 17th August we had the pleasure of hosting William Kelly and his wife Veronica.

Bill Kelly is an America/Australian humanist artist, who has some close ties to the Basque Country and Gernika, through his work with the Euskal Herria Museoa (Museum of the Basque Country).

His website is www.williamkelly.com.au.

Here is a link to an interview William Kelly had with ABC Radio Australia in 2006.
