There are art and cultural festivals held in San Francisco every year. Some art festivals are free and open to the public while others require the purchase of a ticket. Some more exclusive art shows are invitation only and prestigious art dealers like San Francisco art dealer Mayer Flaks are quick to accept their invites.

One of the art festivals Mayer Flaks enjoys attending every year is the Contemporary & Modern Art Fair. This year, the fair takes place May 16th to May 19, 2013. Mayer Flaks will be attending this fair which takes place at Fort Mason Center Festival Pavilion. "I purchased the Preview Pass which includes access to the opening night reception and opening night party," says Mayer Flaks.

The Preview Pass is the most expensive of the three ticket options and is the only ticket that permits access on May 16th. The other ticket options include the Multi-Day ticket from the 17th to the 19th or the purchase of a 1 Day ticket. Each ticket price gets progressively cheaper but the Preview Pass purchased by Mayer Flaks is $150.00.

"It is the only ticket I'd consider buying," says art dealer Mayer Flaks. The Preview Pass ticket includes admission to all art fair days as well as VIP Lounge Access and invitation to VIP tours and events. For art dealers like Mayer Flaks, gaining VIP access is must in order to stay on the top of his field of expertise and meet the people who matter most in the art community.

The Contemporary & Modern Art Fair is just one of the many art fairs Mayer Flaks attends every year. Living in San Francisco, there is never a shortage of festivals or cultural events to attend. Even the free outdoor sidewalk fairs allow him to meet talented people. Mayer Flaks attends nearly every art festival in his area and even occasionally travels out of state in order to attend other large and prestigious art fairs and festivals. He attends both by invitation and by purchasing tickets. By making regular appearances, other art dealers and art buyers know that Mayer Flaks is still in the industry of buying and promoting art and artists.
