A quick look at

OUR History

Scott and AMelia Moore

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.
Reparando Screening

Our Films

Athentikos produced two documentary films to highlight the stories of Guatemalans serving their communities. ‘Reparando’, is an award-winning documentary depicting the civil war and reconstruction. ‘Becoming Fools’ tells a moving story about the impact of a professional clown who mentored at-risk youth living in the streets of Guatemala. 
I AM ART Fall 2024

Our Programs

After producing two documentary films, we began facilitating our I AM ART program — recruiting artists worldwide to serve together — with our primary focus on under-resourced communities in Guatemala. Building on ten years of experience, we launched an online studio program, offering various creative workshops for all ages. Most recently, we've adapted our curriculum for creative retreats.
