Lucille Tenazas, founder of Tenazas Design, a New York-based communication graphics and design firm that works primarily for cultural, educational and non-profit organizations, will speak at Lipscomb University's first Presidential Lecture on Art and Art History of the 2008-09 season. The lecture will also include a reception for participants in Nashville's only Award for Excellence in Logo Design, sponsored by Lipscomb and Advent, an experiential marketing firm.

Tenazas will speak on the topic, "The Designer as Cultural Nomad," proposing that the role of design is not merely to sell and convince, but to enlighten, pose questions and offer a way to interact with and understand the world. In 2008 Tenazas was appointed the first Henry Wolf professor at Parsons The New School for Design in New York to establish a master's of fine arts program in communication design. Previously, she was a faculty member at the California College of the Arts. From 1996-98, Tenazas served as national president of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA). In 2002 she was awarded the prestigious National Design Award for Communication Design by the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, and in 1995 she was honored in as one of the ID Forty -- ID Magazine's selection of America's leading design innovators.

The Award for Excellence in Logo Design reception, with all the entries available for viewing, will begin at 6:00pm, and the winners will be announced after the lecture. Attendees will be allowed to vote for their favorite logo design during the reception.
