ADDENDUM 1
https://mifinitycasinoplay.com is where I happened to be reading about scheduling conflicts when the drop-off and pick-up dates here caught my attention, since October 4 falls on a Sunday and that's tricky for anyone with a weekend job. The requirement of three to six pieces also stood out, because most small shows I've entered ask for just one or two, so this feels like a real chance to show range. Curious whether the family-friendly rule has been interpreted strictly in past exhibits, since joy and bold color can get pretty edgy depending on who's judging.
