I know that the art classes at the rec centers are not supposed to have fees, but some instructors charge fees anyway in the form of supplies fees. Sometimes for printing a picture of the project. I think they all volunteer their time. I have heard people who do not like this since it is supposed to be "free". There are others who think that the volunteers should get reimbursement for their time.

It is sometimes a controversial area. The fees are generally low, like two dollars.
