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.

Pallant House Gallery

Pallant House in Chichester is a Georgian townhouse which was once home to Walter Hussey, latterly the Dean of Chichester cathedral, and a passionate and keen-eyed collector. The house is still home to his paintings, drawings and prints and, with elegant furnishings and room settings, it still feels like a private collection. The bias is towards British art of the 20th century, especially to Hussey's favourites - Sutherland, Piper and Moore - but there are also works by Rembrandt, Durer (above), Cozens and Watteau.

It's not at all the sort of sleepy gallery one might expect from such a place. Indeed, aside from the excellent collection, it boasts a punchy exhibition programme, masterminded by its director, Stephan Van Raay. The current show of sculptors' drawings commissioned by the nearby Goodwood Sculpture Park, is a case in point, and the people of Chichester can look forward to more of the same.
