Mrs. Ash is feeling a little Grinchy this year, and Friday’s Art Club is inviting the community to help her find her Christmas spirit! The Great Grinchmas Exchange is a parents-only event where families share gently used children’s items and take home new-to-you treasures for Christmas. There’s no judgment and no item-for-item trading, just neighbors helping neighbors.
How it works:
  • Register your family: $25 by December 1st, or $30 from December 1st to 17th. There’s no extra charge for the items you choose.
  • Donate: Drop off clean, gently used children’s items December 1st-17th, 10 AM-5 PM. Clothing, toys, games, books, bedding, stuffed animals, room decor, baby items, costumes, and craft supplies are all welcome.
  • Shop: Join us Saturday, December 19th, 10 AM-6 PM, to browse the collection and pick gifts for your kids. A wrapping station is ready for you.
We are accepting clean, gently used children's items in good condition, including:
  • Children's clothing and shoes
  • Toys, dolls, and action figures
  • Games and puzzles
  • Children's books
  • Bedding, blankets, and pillows
  • Stuffed animals
  • Curtains and children's room decor
  • Baby and toddler items
  • Dress-up clothes and costumes
  • Arts and crafts supplies
  • Other gently loved children's items!
Want to help another family? Sponsor a family’s registration for $25. Sponsorships are handled privately, and anyone who would like sponsored registration can reach out with no explanation needed.
Selections depend on donations received, so sizes and items can’t be guaranteed. Bring what you can, take what you need, and spread a little Grinchmas cheer!
Please only donate items that are clean, complete, in good working condition, and something you would feel comfortable giving to another child for Christmas.

Hello! I am Ash, owner of Fridays Art Club in the small town of New Castle, Colorado. I have always been an artist. It was never a question that I was meant to create! I started my business in April of 2026. I was managing an art studio in a different town through a franchise, and it was very limiting as an artist, so I decided to go out on my own and show what I have to offer and the ideas I have been growing for all artistic (and "non-artistic") people to stretch their brains and create cool stuff they actually LOVE.
I love teaching because people often limit themselves to one way of thinking. I am such a believer in doing things (even if you are not good at it at first). Our brains are a muscle, and we can learn new things every day. It is important to me to structure activities that are good for ALL ages and abilities. Art shouldn't be something unreachable.
I teach at the local college, CMC, as well as at my studio!
Take one of my classes. Allow yourself to be brave and try without knowing the outcome. I strive to help you create something that you can hang up on your wall and be proud of or give as a gift, not throw away or in the closet.
Let's create!
