In 1874, Modest Mussorgsky was inspired to compose Pictures at an Exhibition after attending a showing of Viktor Hartmann's art. Today, patients of the Genesis Cancer Center Institute can be inspired by a virtual tour of the Figge Art Museum with Genie the Robot. With help from the Living Proof Exhibit and BeamPro, Genie takes us on a tour to see her version of Pictures at an Exhibition at the Figge Art Museum.

Artist In Residence - Rose Frantzen Timelapse
Over the course of about 12 months in an empty Main Street storefront in Maquoketa, the local artist Rose Frantzen painted 180 portraits of her friends, neighbors and anyone else who could spare a few hours for a sitting.
The project, Portrait of Maquoketa: The Dimensional View, won a grant from the Iowa Arts Council, was displayed at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., and now hangs at the State Historical Museum of Iowa thanks to a loan from the Figge Art Museum in Davenport.
Frantzen demonstrated her process during a two-day residency at the museum. In the above video, you can watch her portrait of volunteer model, David Pearson of Des Moines, come alive on canvas.
