Faith. Creativity. Community.

Your creativity
has a place here.

Rooted in the life, love, and teachings of Jesus, Athentikos creates spaces for restoration through art, relationships, and faith.
Through Art Gatherings, ongoing community programs, and international I AM ART Experiences, we invite you to create, connect, and contribute.

Art Gatherings

Make something.
Connect with others.

You don’t have to call yourself an artist.
Art Gatherings are facilitated creative experiences where people make art, connect with one another, and reflect on life and faith. Come with curiosity and a willingness to try something new.

Ongoing community work

Creativity rooted
in community.

In Guatemala, Soy Arte is our Guatemalan-led expression of I AM ART. Local artists and mentors lead ongoing art clubs, workshops, and camps for children, youth, and families.
This work continues beyond a single event or visiting team. Relationships and local leadership are at its heart.

Opal House · July 2026

Five days of making,
sharing, and celebrating.

At Opal House, children explored sculpture, drawing, music, movement, and other creative activities. The week closed with an art show where families and friends gathered to celebrate their work.
Lucía Chach, a Guatemalan preschool workshop leader, reflects on the experience:
“This week is like rest for my soul.”
