Portrait of Maquoketa is now showing at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C. The exhibition runs until July 5, 2010. In 2005/2006, Rose Frantzen invited anyone in town to sit for a portrait from life. All 180 portraits that Rose painted for the project are on display in the Portraiture Now: Communities exhibition. The portraits are accompanied by Voice of Maquoketa, a sound installation by Rose's brother, John Frantzen that features the voices of many of those whose portraits are shown.

The Portrait of Maquoketa book is now available from Old City Hall Press.
