FAQ

Frequently Asked

Provenance, exhibition history, studio visits, auction process, payment, and how to enroll as a founding Member or Citizen of the Ministry of Art.

Answers to the questions that arrive most often via the collector form, the auction request, the press desk, and the Ministry. Anything not covered here can be sent directly to tadhgslater@gmail.com.

Provenance and authentication

Every Concrete Winter painting ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity from Tadhg Slater, drafted at EXHAUST in Provincetown. The certificate lists the title, dimensions, medium, and date of completion for the work.

Full provenance documentation is delivered at acquisition. Read about direct acquisition from the studio or the studio practice where the catalog is kept.

Studio visits and appointments

Studio visits happen at EXHAUST on Commercial Street in Provincetown, by appointment only, between June 1 and September 15, 2026. The studio is not a public gallery; visits are one-on-one, with time for the work, the space, and the artist. Space is limited and access is intentional.

Book a visit through the studio visit form. The studio replies within 48 hours to confirm a time. For urgent matters, text 617-655-2102.

How the Concrete Winter auction works

The Concrete Winter auction runs direct from the studio. Submitting the auction request form joins the early-bid list. The full catalog with reserve prices arrives in your inbox within 24 hours of sign-up.

Reserve prices are visible only for the 72 hours before public release on August 1, 2026. No payment is taken at sign-up; payment is initiated only after a lot is won, through a Stripe-hosted payment link supplied by the studio.

Payment, pricing, and shipping

Prices are set one-of-one per work, by dimension, series, and surface. They are non-negotiable; there is no discount structure. Concrete Winter paintings start at $8,500.

Studio crating and freight are billed at cost, worldwide. Payment plans are available for qualifying collectors; terms are discussed after a studio visit or written inquiry via the acquisition form.

Becoming a founding Member or Citizen

Support for the studio runs on three tiers: an annual Member, a multi-year Citizen, or a one-time gift. Sustaining Members are listed in the studio letter that ships each season. Multi-year Citizens are acknowledged in the catalog colophon and at the next studio opening. See the full tier descriptions on the donate page.

The Ministry of Art is the constitutional institution behind the catalog of initiatives. It is governed by its Citizens under Article IV. New enrollments ratify through the enrollment form on the Ministry page, with details on the Ministry of Art page itself.

How to get in touch: email vs. text
