The Canales Project
The Canales Project (TCP) is an American 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, created to "activate the arts as a tool for social change and impact".[1] TCP was founded by the internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Carla Dirlikov Canales, and uses the arts to help find new solutions to challenges facing society.[2][3]
Canales has said that the aim of her project is to recruit an "army of compassion", a collection of artists, each with their own personal story about living "between two worlds" and of dealing with the tensions of different cultural environments.[4]
Many of the organization's programming initiatives are enacted through collaborating with partner organizations, including Carnegie Hall, TEDxMidAtlantic,[5] and YoungArts.[6] In addition, TCP has spearheaded several arts educational initiatives including "Finding Your Voice" with Boys and Girls Clubs of Tucson [7] and "V-Pals".[8]
