Blue Spiral 1 announced the appointment of Nicole McConville as its new Gallery Director.

McConville brings nearly three decades of experience supporting, showcasing, and empowering artists and the creative community. A longtime advocate for Asheville’s vibrant arts scene, she has built a career at the intersection of creativity and business—guided by a deep respect for the artist’s voice and the belief that art has the power to connect, inspire, and sustain. Her early career at Lark Books helped shape hundreds of titles celebrating fine craft and creative living. For the past decade, she has led a successful photography and consulting business, collaborating with artists and brands to elevate their stories, strengthen their visual presence, and expand their reach.

McConville brings both creative vision and operational expertise to Blue Spiral 1. Her commitment to cultivating meaningful relationships and creating opportunities where creativity and commerce thrive together makes her an ideal leader for this next chapter in the gallery’s story. As Blue Spiral 1 continues to build on its 35-year legacy as a cornerstone of the arts in Asheville, the gallery looks forward to moving ahead with renewed energy, collaboration, and care for the artists and community that make this work possible.
