Adam Bateman - Board Member
Adam Bateman was raised in Ephraim, Utah, a place with more turkeys than sheep, more sheep than people, and more blue sky than anywhere. He was formally educated at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah with a BA in English and a Spanish Minor, and at Pratt Institute in New York City with an MFA in sculpture. He speaks fluent Spanish, Portuguese, and English and thinks that the fundamentals of language hold the secrets of the universe, life, and everything. He stacks things, arranges things, writes things, attaches things, shapes things, connects things. He likes big buildings as much as he likes the desert panoramas of Utah. In addition to Utah, he’s lived in New York City, Union City, NJ, and Guatemala City, and traveled all around the North/Western half of the world. He’s shown art in three countries, eight states, and fifteen cities. He is currently working as a professional artist, freelance curator, and Director of Birch Creek Service Ranch, an artist residency program, which he co-founded with Eric Peterson. He fully expects to change the world (Utah) by connecting regional art and artists with the larger contemporary art world and by making Utah a relevant and important center for contemporary art.

The Central Utah Art Center is located in Ephraim, Utah and was created in 1991 when it moved into the newly renovated Ephraim Roller Mill. The mill had originally been built in 1876. When it was built it was in part of Fort Ephraim and surrounded by walls to protect the settlement. During its 130 year history the mill was initially run by the Relief Society of the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and then went through several commercial owners before it was vacant for several decades before its renovation. In the early days of the mill, the grain processed there was sent around the world for charity relief purposes—some was sent to China near the turn of last century and a large amount was sent to San Francisco after the earthquake there in 1906.
Currently, the mill is used as a public art space. It has been beautifully renovated, leaving the oolite limestone bricks (typical of early architecture of the valley) exposed on both the exterior and on the inside walls of the upper level. All of the rafters and old floor joists have been left exposed.
Directly behind the CUAC is the old residence and studio of C C A Christensen (1831-1912), a pioneer artist from Norway who settled with his family in Ephraim about the time the mill was constructed. He lived in Ephraim for 30 years except for several church missions to Denmark and Norway and for art studies in Denmark. Christensen was known for documenting the lifestyle, struggles, and religious events of the young Mormon culture. His art was featured on the cover of Art in America in 1970.
