We bring art to underserved and culturally diverse patients!

Founded in 2024 by Sindur Patel and Carolina DePaula, Canta Canta is dedicated to bringing artistic expression and emotional support to individuals facing health challenges and life transitions. With a team of passionate student volunteers from Vanderbilt University, we create and distribute interactive art books that combine visual art, creative writing, and mindfulness prompts to uplift and empower patients of all ages. Our mission is to spark moments of joy, reflection, and connection, one page at a time.

Our Three Pillars

Creative Expression

We believe in the power of art and storytelling to nurture the soul. Through vibrant illustrations, poetry, and journaling prompts, we invite individuals to express themselves and reconnect with their inner voice.

Emotional Support

Our interactive art books are more than creative tools; they're companions. Whether someone is navigating illness, grief, or transition, we aim to offer comfort, hope, and emotional grounding through thoughtfully designed experiences.

Human Connection

Every book is a bridge. Created by student volunteers with care and empathy, our work fosters connection between patients and creators, between communities, and within the self. We are here to remind people that they are seen, supported, and never alone.
