Secret Artworks: Hundreds of artists create 5"x7" works for this annual fundraiser for Artworks. (I donated three collages.) Each piece sells for the same price - $75. The "secret" part is that you don't know whose work it is until it's sold. Preview the art in Weston Hotel Atrium Nov. 12-15 and right now
online. Oh, and there's a twist this year: they're auctioning some of the new pig sculptures that lined the streets of Cincinnati during the summer. 5-9 p.m. Friday Nov. 16 at MCA (the old Contemporary Arts Center), 120 E. Fourth St., downtown.

18th Annual Studio Collection Sale: Gather 12 women artists into the ballroom of a funky old lodge, add food, door prizes and music, and you have a sale that's more like a party. I've attended the show for the past six years or so and recommended it to others, so, I was thrilled to be asked to be a guest artist this year. Look for cards, collages and new goodies such as the calendars. 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday Nov. 17, Harmony Lodge, 646 East Epworth Ave., Spring Grove Village (former Winton Place).
