As if you need another reason to come to the Arlington Arts Center tomorrow night, Kathryn Cornelius will be doing a very cool live performance via webcam, based on instructions submitted via email (before the opening) or Twitter during this Friday's exhibition opening. Anyone can participate, regardless of whether or not they can make the opening night. Learn how to send instructions here.
