KANWAL PRAKASH SINGH

Born in India, Kanwal Prakash (KP) Singh came to the United States in 1965 for higher studies. He has made Indianapolis his home since 1967. KP was educated in India (B.A. from Punjab University; Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Technology: Regional Planning from I.I.T. Kharagpur) and the United States (Master of City Planning from the University of Michigan).

KP has been a tireless advocate and supporter of historic preservation, cultural diversity, and the importance of arts to life and human spirit. KP considers community service as a major focus and commitment of his Sikh faith and as a civic responsibility. Over the years, he has served as a volunteer on many committees and events. He is a founding member of the International Center of Indianapolis.

KP is a recipient of many awards and honors. Among them: Daverman Award in Architecture (University of Michigan -1965); Sagamore of the Wabash (State of Indiana -1992); International Citizen of the Year (International Center of Indianapolis -1995); and Award of Excellence: Arts (Asian American Alliance - 2002).

K.P. Singh Designs, founded in 1972, specializes in fine arts. KP's distinctive, finely executed pen and ink drawings of historic architecture and monuments in India, Europe, USA, and other places reflect the combined skills of an architect, artist, historian, and an educator. His art and advocacy have continued to heighten our awareness of the special place of significant buildings and sites in the visual, cultural, and spiritual fabric of our communities. KP's drawings of architectural landmarks: Indiana courthouses, college campuses and other historic sites are present at many fundraising events. His artwork is in many public and private collections in the USA and around the world.

KP's art and words are a constant reminder of his passion and commitment to preservation and celebration of our unique and outstanding architectural, artistic, and cultural treasures. KP believes that they are the collective heritage of mankind. His writings, as a guest writer for The Indianapolis Star and other publications, offer rich imagery and reflect a deep interest in matters of spirit. His recently published book, The Art and Spirit of K.P. Singh (Guild Press- Emmis Publishing, 2003), offers a rich sampling of his writings and drawings. His writings reveal cultural sensitivity and spiritual awareness that transcend diverse spectrums of thought and wisdom, recognize universal human struggles and sufferings, and honor our individual and shared destiny. KP is a frequent guest speaker and participant in community, cultural, and interfaith events.
