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.

Never one to mince his words, A A Gill will be chewing over the subject of The Fine Art of Food at the Saatchi Gallery on Wednesday. Gill, Sunday Times columnist, restaurant reviewer and author of the recently published Ivy Cookbook, will be getting his teeth into the phenomenon of restaurants as places in which to consume art as well as food. With restaurants such as Quo Vadis and The Pharmacy (left) adorned with works by Damien Hirst and now as famous for their art as for their food, A A Gill asks whether restaurants are destined to be the new galleries of the future. Visitors will also be treated to a private view of the acclaimed Alex Katz exhibition.

Saatchi Gallery, 98a Boundary Rd, London NW8. Wed 1 April 6.30-8.30pm

The Royal Academy of Arts is offering London Eye readers pounds 5 off tickets for the lecture (normally pounds 20), which include drinks and a private view of the Katz exhibition. To claim your discount, call the Royal Academy on 0171-300 5712, mentioning this offer.
