Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

New exhibition spaces proliferate. From 8 June Mason's Yard in London's St James's will be home to Finarte's shows of Italian art. The gallery's first venture, examining the work of De Chirico, will be accompanied by an interesting catalogue from New York's Paolo Baldacci gallery.

Another new initiative takes place in September with the merger of the long- established London dealers Gillian Jason and Benjamin Rhodes. Jason will take her impressive stable of artists from the gallery at her home in Inverness Street to join Rhodes at his extensive central London showroom in New Burlington Place.

On a more domestic scale the Habitat shop in London's King's Road opens its doors to contemporary art, starting with Celia Read, whose engaging lyrical abstracts will remain on view to the end of May.

Meanwhile, over the Scottish border, at their 16th-century stately home, Traquair House in Peebleshire, the Maxwell Stuart family, renowned for their home-made beer, have converted a huge loft space into a contemporary art

gallery.

In conjunction with Gruzelier Modern Art, they are currently showing work by five contemporary Norwegian artists.
