# The OCAD U Mystery Art Sale Whodunit? Is Back!
rgb(255,255,255)
**Remember the mystery art sale? It’s back and this time, it’s part of OCAD University’s 150th anniversary celebration!**
More than a decade ago, the Whodunit? Mystery Art Sale was a hugely popular OCAD U tradition, drawing crowds and even public line-ups outside the doors. Now, we’re bringing it back for a new generation.
On **April 3, 2027**, the Great Hall will host a sale of 150 original works by OCAD U students, faculty, staff and alumni, as well as artists and supporters from the broader community.
Here’s the twist: buyers won’t know who made the artwork until after they buy it. Every piece will be priced at $150. All proceeds will help support OCAD U’s 150th anniversary programming.
**BE PART OF THE MYSTERY**
We’re asking OCAD U students and faculty to create and donate a small original work for the sale.
**The rules are simple:**
- Create an original work on a **standard 8 × 10" canvas**, supplied by OCAD U.
- There are **no restrictions on what you create** - painting, drawing, mixed media, collage, experimental work, a print of a photograph or anything else that fits the format.
- Works must be able to be displayed upright at the event (**2D or close to 2D**).
- You’re welcome to submit **more than one work**.
- Submission Deadline: **Friday, March 5, 2027**
In the days leading up to the event, an online preview will give the public a first look at the works – but not the names of the artists.
**Email** [**events@ocadu.ca**](mailto:events@ocadu.ca) **to participate.**
Canvases can be picked up from the Marketing & Communications Office, 10th Floor, 230 Richmond St. W. Submission deadline: **Friday, March 5, 2027**
