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] and aims to give “voice to issues of identity and culture through music and conversation.”[2]

TCP was founded in 2016[2] by the internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Carla Dirlikov Canales, and uses the arts to help find new solutions to challenges facing society.[3][4]

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.[5]

Many of the organization's programming initiatives are enacted through collaborating with partner organizations, including Carnegie Hall, TEDxMidAtlantic,[6] and YoungArts.[7] In addition, TCP has spearheaded several arts educational initiatives including "Finding Your Voice" with Boys and Girls Clubs of Tucson[8] and "V-Pals".[9]
