Speaking about the initiative, Arjun Sharma, director, Select CITYWALK says, "We have always believed in encouraging and promoting art on a larger scale and wanted to show the art in the public domain. Thus, we gave 10X10ft spaces to 400 kids and divided everybody in different groups."
Talking about the theme, Our Girls, Our Pride, he says, "About a hundred artists painted the walls with images and drawings depicting girls. Through this theme we have tried to convey the message that all atrocities towards the girl child must stop."

People relate to Bollywood movies. From Guru Dutt to Sanjay Leela Bhansali movies of every genre and from every decade is represented on the walls," Sharma says.
