Current Exhibits

Corridor Show Running Nov.12th, 2024-July 5th, 2025

Midpoint Reception: Jan. 25th, 2025

David Vollbracht is a representational landscape painter of the West and Midwest who works primarily in oils. He is a studio and Plein Air painter and is a Signature Member of the Oil Painters of America. Vollbracht has exhibited across the country, most recently in the AIS Impressions Small Work Showcase, the Plein Air Salon Competition, and the Mark Arts Oil Painting National Exhibition. 

This Corridor exhibition will showcase several of Vollbracht’s recent stunning paintings including a piece acquired by the Filley and added to our permanent collection last year. This show will be a beautiful look at Vollbracht’s mastery of capturing the emotional essence of particular landscapes.

North Gallery Room: April 27, 2024 through January 6, 2025: Permanent Collection “Retrospective” Showcase Exhibition – This year, The Filley celebrates a decade of collecting, preserving, and exhibiting art. In this retrospective display, we will look back at Dr Vernon and Emily “Mimi” Filley’s permanent collection pieces that have appeared in past exhibits. Let’s take time to reflect on the past ten years of incredible exhibits and all the ways art has enriched our lives, as we look towards a bright future. Thank you to our generous sponsors of these exhibits: Ninnescah Valley Bank; Mead Lumber; State Farm (Dan Gillig); Legacy Bank; Pratt Family Practice

What artists say about us

Dear Editor,
What a treasure you have in Pratt! The Vernon Filley Art Museum is truly a star among museums that display and market artists’ work. The staff is so professional and efficient! We don’t remember ever dealing with staff that is so good at organizing, hanging the paintings and using social media constantly throughout the show to let people know what is available in Pratt. The reception for the show was a real treat. The food presentation was metropolitan and an art in itself.
