Art with Heart | Akin is a Seattle-based nonprofit focused on helping children who face trauma or adversity through creative expression. For more than twenty years, it has provided a therapeutic, art-based curriculum and accompanying books intended to transform painful experiences into possibilities for growth. The work centers on engaging kids and youth in settings where they live, learn, and play, with an emphasis on relational health. The organization employs a small to mid-sized team. In its third decade, the group merged with Childhaven to form a broader family of services focused on relational health and connecting with children and their communities in all the places they live, learn, and play. This broader scope situates Art with Heart within the nonprofit sector as a provider of arts-based youth interventions. In October 2020, the organization announced the launch of GoNNER2, a product development milestone noted in recent coverage.
