Find out how contagious generosity can be. International speaker/storyteller, Garret Garrels, collaborates with world-renowned sculptor, Tim Holmes, to create a multi-dimensional art project called Random Gifts of Art. Learn how two people share their problems and stumble upon a common solution that opens up a new world of possibilities for both of them. Giving away art, connecting with strangers, and enlivening rather than killing time.

Garret Garrels is a writer, speaker, poet, and raconteur originally from Anaconda, Montana. He is the founder of an international women’s empowerment movement called Pink Gloves Boxing, which operates in over thirty locations across the United States, Sweden, and Norway. Twice Garret has finished in the semi-finals of the World Championship of Public Speaking, and in 2011, out of 35,000 contestants from 118 different countries, he finished in the top 18. He appears across the US and Europe as a humorous and inspirational speaker. Working in collaboration with artist Tim Holmes, he formed an international social art project called “Random Gifts of Art.”

Tim Holmes is the first American artist ever invited to give a solo exhibit at Russia's Hermitage Museum. He has created many awards for international projects such as the U.N. Millennium Women's Peace Prize, PeaceLinks Award and others. Jimmy Carter, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and the late Coretta Scott King are among Tim’s best-known collectors. Though he is best known for his sculpture, Tim works in a variety of media and styles inspired by the human struggle, all pointing toward a more responsive, cooperative and sustainable future. Tim, who now lives in Helena, Montana believes that art will save the world.
