A special room was dedicated to the paintings and drawings made by the students.
For love of the art
Kush Badhwar (32), a filmmaker and initiator of the exhibition, said, “I had this idea in my mind and wanted to execute it so that art lovers in Navi Mumbai don’t have to go to South Mumbai. Another reason for organising this exhibition was to draw attention of children and youth towards arts and music. This exhibition is the outcome of the team’s hard work.” u00a0
