Fountain Gate Schools are deeply committed to promoting the arts in education. This event exemplifies our commitment to nurture the creative talents of students, empowering them to express themselves through various artistic forms.

Looking ahead, Mr. T shared exciting plans to expand the festival internationally by 2026.
