We exist to restore holistic well-being through the transformative power of expressive art programs.

OUR MISSION

Art-making restores life. A simple brush stroke releases stress, movement increases strength, exploration ignites curiosity, and expression builds hope. God transforms lives through art, revealing our identity in Him and our connection to creation.

We facilitate transformative experiences through creative workshops to MAKE ART, invest in under-resourced communities to GIVE ART, and inspire people to serve others and BE ART.

We Are
Creatives

After producing two documentary films featuring Guatemala in 2010, we began to facilitate our I AM ART program — recruiting artists from around the world to serve together — with our primary focus in under-resourced communities in Guatemala. Building on ten years of experience, we launched an online studio program, offering a wide variety of creative workshops for all ages. Over 300 people worldwide participate annually in our various programs — experiencing the transformative power of creative art programs.

OUR STORY

OUR FOUNDERS

Scott and Amelia Moore adopted two sons from Guatemala after wrestling with infertility for over a decade. During their adoption process in 2006, they learned about Guatemala’s tragic history and met children who were devastated from the effects of a 36-year long civil war. They couldn’t just adopt their sons and move on with their lives, so they decided to use their creative talents to inspire audiences to respond to the suffering they witnessed.

ABOUT THE FILMS

Initially, Scott & Amelia produced two documentary films that highlight stories of Guatemalans. ‘Reparando’, is a feature-length, award-winning documentary that depicts the civil war and reconstruction and ‘Becoming Fools’ is a moving story about the impact of a professional clown who mentored at-risk youth living in the streets of Guatemala. Working with street youth during the production of Becoming Fools inspired us to establish Athentikos as a sustainable nonprofit organization focused on restoring and empowering people to express themselves with confidence through creativity.
