Isamar Medina.

It seems inevitable that Isamar Medina’s fascination with small things would become something bigger; what’s surprising is the pace at which it’s happened. The 26-year-old artist’s Slaps Show—a group show focused on selling affordable sticker art by artists from across the country—is approaching its third iteration in just over a year, and Medina says the amount of interest in the show from both artists and attendees has been shocking. For the June 2019 Slaps Show, Medina said people were lining up three hours before opening in the hopes of getting an original piece. It was quite a surprise for Medina, who started the show as a way to make visual art accessible and affordable to those who may feel shut out.
