The Trump Portrait/Painting 'Unafraid And Unashamed' To Hang In The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery
Final supporters
We petition the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery to hang The Trump Portrait/Painting 'Unafraid And Unashamed' in the National Portrait Gallery In Washington D.C. during the inauguration of President Elect Donald J. Trump on January the 20th, 2017.
The highly symbolic and spiritual Trump Portrait/Painting 'Unafraid And Unashamed' created in the summer of 2015 By Artist Julian Raven has been part of the passionate grassroots historic Trump campaign from the beginning.
Unveiled in the first grassroots rally for Donald Trump And Mayor Daniel Mandell in Elmira, New York on November the 1st, 2015. The Trump Portrait began its historic journey.
From the Iowa Caucuses back in January/February of 2016, the Trump Painting/Portrait has been seen as part of the historic and victorious grassroots effort for Donald J. Trump.
Artist, Trump grassroots campaigner, New York Alternate Delegate, New Born US Citizen and Preacher Julian Raven has boldly and passionately campaigned for Donald Trump as he was inspired to do from the beginning.
After the dramatic signs and life changing inspiration of the Trump Portrait/Painting 'Unafraid And Unashamed' back on July 2016 and the nearly 600 hours it took to complete the huge, nearly 8x16 foot painting on canvas in its finished dimensions, the painting began its historic journey.
As the only pro Trump portrait/painting to champion Donald Trump from the beginning, its participation in history has been dramatically recorded.
The painting served as a backdrop to multiple grassroots Trump rallies. On the side of a 20 foot box truck, the image of the painting was seen all over Iowa on the 5700 mile grassroots campaign.
Then to New York City, when a copy of the Trump Portrait hangs in the Trump Campaign headquarters since November 30th, 2015.
The image and story of the painting has been seen across the country and across the world. From the New York Times, The Washington Free Beacon, Time Magazine, The Wall Street Journal to the BBC, EL Pais and media in the far east all the way to Japan, Israel, Russia and China.
Individuals have had dramatic reactions to the experience of the massive Trump Portrait. From loud vocal reactions of amazement to one man standing rubbing his arms up and down as he explained they were full of goosebumps! One woman stood silently as the painting was unveiled and remained silent. Staring at the painting, the woman said nothing. The artist stood uncomfortably as most people make some vocal expression of awe wondering what she thought, imagining she did not like it. Later the woman emailed the artist and apologized, explaining she was rendered speechless by the experience! Even liberal anti trump protesters, Bernie Sanders supporters, Black Lives Matter protesters would show great respect to the art, expressing admiration to the work whilst expressing their dislike of Trump.In June of 2016, the Trump Portrait and Painting was invited to be part of the Nation's top political art show in Los Angeles at Politicon 2016. The 'Art Of Politics' curated by Yosi Sergant, inspiration behind the Obama painting 'Hope And Change', White House liaison for the arts and National Endowment for the Arts Director of communications, hung works by Shepherd Fairey, SABO, Robbie Conal and other prominent artists in the political art world. The painting was hung with the world famous Obama painting 'Hope And Change' by Shepherd Fairey and seen by thousands of people in Pasadena California at the Convention Center.
Following the election to represent New York State at the Republican National Convention as an Alternate Delegate, Artist Julian Raven would take a copy of the Trump Portrait to be seen all over the world for 4 days.
The 8 foot canvas copy of the Trump Painting was seen in Cleveland's public square by thousands of people. Trump supporters, protesters and media, the respect the image commanded spoke volumes even to anti Trump protesters! The attention was nothing but staggering over the 4 day period as it was the only pro Trump image or painting in the Public Square. Untold numbers of people, Trump supporters and not supporters, took photos with the copy of the painting.
The Painting was also on display at the historic Cleveland Renaissance Hotel where the New York Delegation was located. Speakers there included Rudy Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, Senators, Congressman and many other prominent Republicans.
The greatest moment at the RNC convention was during the convention when Trump Org. Executive Lynne Patton spoke. The image of the Trump portrait had been included in the historic and viral video produced by Lynne Patton 'The Trump Family I know' which was shown on screen during the convention. Over 50 million people world wide were watching the convention and were exposed to the image of the painting during the featured video.
After more grassroots Trump rallies, appearances in grassroots videos across the country, the Trump Portrait was seen at GOP dinners with Senator Tom Omara, Assemblyman Friend, Elmira Mayor Mandell, Chairman Strange, Chairman Cady, Assemblyman Palmesano and many other political dignitaries from upstate New York as Julian Raven spoke during these most distinguished events.
The Trump Portrait And Painting was also included in the Huffington Post's online election political art gallery 'If This Art Could Vote'. Amongst hundreds of anti Trump art, it was the only pro Trump Portrait/Painting to be included!
People all across the country have repeatedly said how they would like to see the painting hanging in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. The time has come since the dramatic and historic win by President Elect Donald J. Trump to hang this historic work of art in its rightful place in art history. Since it is the only portrait/painting to have not only been created at the beginning of this historic election, but predicted that Donald Trump would become The 45th president Of The United States Of America since it depicts Donald J. Trump as President!

I have been working behind the scenes to ensure the significance of this painting is fully understood by those in charge. This portrait reflects a movement that deserves its place in our national history.

Seeing this momentum grow reminds me of those long days spent painting in the studio when the vision for this project felt like a distant dream. Your dedication reflects the same spirit that drove this campaign across the country from the very start. I am truly humbled that this piece of our history is resonating so deeply with all of you.

Without question the "Unafraid & Unashamed" portrait should be hanging in the Smithsonian during the Inauguration. This painting has been a part of the history of election year 2016 and its rightful place is in the Smithsonian
The Smithsonian's refusal to display the Trump painting, 'Unafraid and Unashamed' should outrage all Americans. Refusing to display this Pro-Trump painting shows a political double-standard and total disrespect to the next rightfully elected President of the USA. The Smithsonian is showing bias on what and what isn't acceptable to be displayed in the Gallery. In 2009, they set a precedent by displaying a Pro-Obama poster on Inauguration Day. I encourage ALL Americans to sign this petition.
GODforTRUMP/FROM the BEGINNING, THIS painting is part of the speaking movement, that has taken place, from the first day President Elect Trump made his speech that he was running for President! He Is America's Last Hope, he Can and WILL Make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! America's Hero DONALD J. TRUMP Who ever doesn't support this beautiful symbol of Gods Movement will pay dearly! GODforTRUMP2016/17
Please hang this Historic Painting as it's a symbol of America's last HOPE and GODS CHOICE for The people!
hang it......
This portrait is valued by so many American citizens. We love our country, her people and are hopeful for our president elect Donald J. Trump. The refusal by the Smithsonian is just another insult by the cultural Marxists that have taken over our American society. Many valued the portrait of President Obama, even those who disagree with out current president recognize the value in having his protrait displayed in a prominent place like the Smithsonian. The portrait 'Unafraid and Unashamed' byJulian Raven has served as a symbol of personal liberty, freedom and the rejection of nonsensical political correctness culture. We the American people respectfully ask that this portrait be displayed and this great American artist be recognized by the Smithsonian. Thank you and God Bless.
I am dead against Trump. I am look in dismay the Bible thumping bunch who have been conned into thinking that he is their guy. He has one religion, himself. It's such a shame that there was nobody better than Hilary to get him laughted off the stage.But I guess this is indicative of our times and the ridiculous Reality Show where people's headspaces dwell these days. The world is not ready for Bernie, Jeremy Corbin or even Russell Brand. But one day I hope we can begin to elect sane decent people into positions of power and perhaps something will change for the better. Perhaps this is will be purge and a step where hitting rock bottom will mean the only way is up. Or maybe he's more moderate than he portrayed himself and will only kick the ass of the people who really deserve it. Who knows, it's done now. Next time I think they need to look at the voting system so that the guy with the most votes actually wins. Anyway. This artist is a great friend of mine and his commitment, passion, dedication and talent drives me to sign this petition.

I am appalled that ANY U.S. President would be left out of recorded history because your board members don't agree with him. Nobody knows who you even are or cares how you feel. But we DO care that this historical moment be available for generations to come.
