Gallery History:
When he came to North Carolina nearly three decades ago, John Cram saw Asheville through an artist's eyes - venerable mountains, lush botanical life, fanciful historic buildings.  His vision - then and now - is to celebrate the beautiful and provocative artworks that continually come out of this unique environment.

He has pursued his dream through the creation of three distinctive galleries: Blue Spiral 1 represents fine art; New Morning Gallery is an "Art for Living" craft gallery recently expanded to over 13,000 square feet; and Bellagio, an art to wear gallery. Continuing his love of the visual arts, he renovated and opened the Fine Arts Theatre in 1997. The theatre features art and independent films.
