Coagula Curatorial Impressions

When first I heard we were going to an art gallery, I figured I had an idea of what it was going to be like. When I heard that the gallery was located in Chinatown, that idea was shortly thrown out the window. I've driven through Chinatown before while trying to get onto the 110 freeway, but I've never actually walked around and observed the area, so I had no idea what to expect of this place. When I first got to the address, I wasn't sure if I was in the right area because the whole place honestly looked like a ghost town. The gallery itself couldn't be any more different from what I had first pictured in my head. I would usually think that art galleries were pretty fancy looking places with super expensive art everywhere, but Coagula Curatorial looked nothing like that. I've never really been all that intrigued by art, but I did try my best to give it a chance. Some of the artworks actually ended up being pretty interesting, especially when Jill was able to give some of them a little backstory. Matt seems like an extremely energetic person. Overall, the experience was definitely a unique one.
