298- Art Battles the Smithsonian & more... featuring Julian Raven
Julian Raven shares his extraordinary journey from British-born artist to American legal activist, fighting an eight-year battle against the Smithsonian Institution after his Trump portrait was rejected for exhibition. Through persistence and legal research, he uncovered the true nature of the Smithsonian as a private charitable trust rather than a federal agency, exposing institutional bias and constitutional questions about who controls America's cultural institutions.
• British-born, Spanish-raised artist who came to America as a missionary before finding his calling as a painter
• Created a prophetic 7x15 foot portrait of Trump in 2015 when most dismissed his presidential chances
• Traveled across America with his painting, eventually becoming an alternate New York delegate at the RNC
• Faced blatant partisan rejection from Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery director Kim Sayet
• Discovered the Smithsonian is legally a private charitable trust, not a federal agency
• Self-filed multiple lawsuits and Supreme Court petitions without legal representation
• Documented the Smithsonian director's anti-Trump activism while in official position
• Recent developments with Trump attempting to fire Sayet reveal the constitutional questions at stake
• Case now involves potential action from DC Attorney General to defend the Smithsonian Trust
• Encourages Americans to get involved in civic action rather than just complaining about problems
Julian's book "Odious and Cerberus: An American Immigrant's Odyssey and His Free Speech Legal War Against Smithsonian Corruption" details his journey and legal battle. Learn more at smithsoninstitution.com and see Julian's artwork at julianraven.com.
