Money taken for art must be paid to the artists, and not diverted for other convention expenses.  The convention takes its cut after the artists are paid and money taken on behalf of artists may not be diverted.

Most conventions are run by amateurs – sometimes badly.  Giving the art show a separate checking account will prevent the convention from accidentally spending money that should have gone to artists.  This is only a problem when the convention is going broke - money is fungible (fungible: one dollar looks like another.  Registration and art show dollars are interchangeable until you run out of them).  It will not stop the convention from ''deliberately'' raiding the artists’ money.  Only honesty and common sense can prevent that.
