The Gallery of Visual Arts at the University of Montana presents this extraordinary collection of work from Papua New Guinea along with the work of Stephen and Bev Beck Glueckert. 

The two Missoula artists lived and traveled throughout Papua New Guinea during Stephen's year of teaching sculpture at the University of Papua New Guinea located in Port Moresby.  The exhibition includes  traditional art and artifacts, contemporary paintings, and work by Stephen and Bev combined into a cross-cultural visual narrative of their experience.  The exhibition gives a rich understanding of the cultural impact the experience had on their work.
