Mae Slaton Silent Auction

Young Mae

Mae's vessel

MAE

Mary Alice Rogan Slaton

1929-2009

Mae Slaton believed that artists should gather together to create and to share. She initiated the Empty Bowls Project in 2006 to celebrate the life and work of Lundin Kudo, ceramic artist and friend. Mae brought together ceramic artists, artists from other media and people who just like to play with clay. All who wished to contribute were welcome. A few “souper” bowls were also selected for a silent auction to raise additional funds to feed the hungry in Martin County.

In honor of Mae Slaton’s commitment to excellence as evidenced by her contributions to the Center for the Arts, Martin County Arts Council Exhibition Committee and Martin County Public Art Advisory Board, this silent auction is now the MAE SLATON SILENT AUCTION OF SOUPER BOWLS.

Mae brought art to every aspect of her life. We hope that these beautiful bowls will fill your life with joy and wonder, while helping to fill humbler bowls with sustenance.

Empty Bowls Day

Empty Bowls Day, Sunday, February 28, 2010 was an absolute blowout success! We had 350 bowls, twice as many as last year and sold almost every single one. We also had twice as much delicious locally donated soup and innumerable baskets of good bread from Publix. And we ran out of everything by noon anyway! Few glitches - line too slow - but all will be addressed next year. We also made twice as much money this year - way over $8,000 for St. Mary's Episcopal Soup Kitchen and the Treasure Coast Food Bank for other Martin County Soup Kitchens! So we are all happy as can be today and looking forward to making more beautiful bowls next year and involving our artists and restaurants and even more of our community in a great project.
