Students vs. administrators ..

... Concerns over change in focus at Fleisher.

Debbie attends Fleisher and has for years. I know a lot of other people who go there as well. There was no advance warning of the changes that have been made - and some person I talked to at an art opening recently said staffers had been told to keep word of the changes to themselves. The fact is, 13 classes had to be canceled for lack of applicants - these are classes that had been free except for the $40 modeling fee, but suddenly cost $200 ($225 if you were not a member of Fleisher). Fleisher isn't just a school; it is a community of people for whom art is a passion, if not a profession. The changes seem to have been made without any consideration being taken of these people. Yet another example of "experts" thinking they know what's best for everybody.
