Crossroads Carnegie Art Center — Attraction in Baker City

How do you rank lower than a one-star because Crossroads Carnegie Art Center has earned a negative rating. Specifically, CCAC’s chairman of the board Brian Watt is an imposter. He knows nothing about music and can barely get air through a trumpet yet he is given the opportunity to teach private lessons. A bad teacher is far worse than no teacher.
