(2) Fatima Ismail is a good example of the student of Ahmed Fouad Selim. He supported and gave her
opportunities to study and communicate closely with the cultural and artistic figures. He offered her a
scholarship to study in Rome, where she worked in the fieldwork at the remarkable galleries and studied the
role of a curator, who offers innovative ideas in the preparation and organization of exhibitions. This scholarship
marked a fundamental shift in her professional and personal life. Fatima Ismail played a pivotal role when she
held a leading position in the Fine Arts Sector and moved to the Palace of Arts in Opera Square. She supported
an excellent team of young workers and taught them awareness, experience, and self-confidence, in addition
to deep self-education, and entering into the creative art field with ambition and competency. Each team
member has developed exceptional professional capabilities in terms of awareness, discussion, and open-
mindedness and has enjoyed a status in the cultural, artistic field in Egypt and the Arab world. Among them
are artists Ehab El-Labban, Mohamed Talaat, Mohamed Ibrahim, and other artists shining at the management
and service of the art movement.
