A Special Note From Maggie:
While many of the artists connected to this project were indeed compensated for their unique contributions, this compensation, when set against the time commitment involved, and the sacrifices required, could be better understood as but a mere stipend. In fact, it was nowhere near what might be considered our region’s industry standard. More significantly, it was nowhere near their inherent value or their worth as artists and as consummate professionals. As The Project unfolded, I watched as each adopted, in their own discipline-specific way, a whatever-it-takes mentality, fighting for and always committed to giving their best—their best toward the collective and collaborative pursuit of excellence.
My privilege was working with them, my joy was learning from them, and my heart is grateful to them—and to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for His work in, through, and around each and all of us. Great IS Thy Faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:23, emphasis mine.)
