Mathis, Marifian & Richter, Ltd. is proud to sponsor Art on the Square’s High School Sculpture in the City program, supporting young artists in our community for more than a decade.

This year’s featured installation, “Wonder Wheel,” was unveiled at Art on the Square after weeks of collaboration between artist Cheri Rhodig (Lakeland, Fla.) and Belleville West High School art students. Guided by the artist and art teachers Cari Casper, Dan Krause, and Rob Thornberry, students designed and constructed two large three-dimensional Bitti Bot robots and eight smaller bots in a whimsical ferris wheel-inspired display.

MMR is honored to support programs that encourage creativity, collaboration, and artistic expression in our community.
