Toronto Notes

OCAD's annual Whodunit? Mystery Art Sale is now open for public viewing, allowing prospective buyers to peruse the hundreds of anonymously crafted, $75-price-tagged artworks before placing their orders at the official sale; the successful purchasers will then be granted the right to flip over the work and see if it was created by a famous artiste whose name will guarantee thousands of dollars in eBay resale value, or just a poor student who tricked you into thinking it was.

Interested parties are encouraged to check the event's website to get a sneak peak at this year's offerings, and/or head down to OCAD (100 McCaul) over the next two days and jot down the numbers of the pieces you so dearly prize; the artwork will then be sold on a you-snooze-you-lose basis on Saturday — so try not to party too hard the night before.
