Art Forearm Launch Party + Longitudes: Veronica Anne Salinas
February 28, 2026
Launch party 6–8 pm, Free
Longitudes performance 8pm, $5-10 (NOTAFLOF)
 

Art Forearm, a new biannual online publication dedicated to the labor and material intelligence of art, will celebrate its official launch with a public event on Friday, February 28 from 6–8 PM at CO-OPt Research + Projects in Lubbock, Texas.

This event will be followed by a performance by Veronica Anne Salinas (Marfa, TX) and LEMB (Lubbock, TX), part of the Longitudes series.

Founded and edited by artist and curator Jennifer Seas, Art Forearm focuses on how artists work: their tools, processes, materials, labor, and the infrastructures that make creative practice possible in the present moment. Each issue is released over time, with new features delivered weekly to subscribers’ inboxes. 

The inaugural issue of Art Forearm is titled GROUND. Interpreted both materially and conceptually, the theme explores soil as substance, land-based artistic practice, ground as surface, and the conditions that support or constrain creative work. Features in the first issue include essays, studio profiles, conversations, tutorials, and practice notes from artists and other creative workers engaging deeply with labor, tools, and sustainability.

The launch party will include:
• A welcome introduction by founder and editor-in-chief Jennifer Seas
 • A live reading by Art Forearm contributor Skylar Perez
 • A raffle featuring limited-edition Art Forearm clothing and accessories
 • Iron-on Art Forearm patches available for purchase
 • A free patch for anyone who signs up for a paid subscription at the event
 • On-site patch ironing for bags, jackets, or other fabric items you bring
 • An anonymous question box for Art Forearm’s advice columnist, Jerry Grimes
