Whodun?t: OCAD Mystery Art Sale Gala. This annual event is one of the season's most imaginative fundraisers, with the audience invited to ferret out the best and the brightest (and the most valuable) from 150 anonymous works of art. How high would you be willing to go if you thought you might be bidding on a David Urban, Ian Carr-Harris, Gina Rorai, John Scott, Tony Scherman or Roy Arden? There's only one way to find out. (Full disclosure comes only after the purchase is made.) A public sale of 1,000 additional works at the fixed price of $75 each, by these and other artists, follows on the weekend. Tickets: $125. Nov. 25, 6:30 p.m. Ontario College of Art and Design, 100 McCaul St., 416-977-6000.
