Visual enchantment, magic and fairytales
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.

The Red Rag Modern Art Gallery’s first exhibition of the year is ‘Magic and Fairy Tales,’ which opens a week on Sunday.
It features the whimsical work of Scottish artist Catriona Campbell, circus-themed paintings by Alan King as well as Stephanie Lambourne’s evocative work, ‘At The Bottom of the Garden.’
Depths of imagination – both frightening and amusing- are plumbed by the story book styles of Gary Walton and David Schofield, the colours evoking playground toys, days at the seaside and monsters lurking under beds.
Stuart Buchanan’s blue tinted ‘Sun Worshipper’ injects a bit of realism, while Gordon Mitchell’s works provide an edgy look at sexuality and loss of innocence.
Themes of enchantment, visual trickery and the unseen prevail.
