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.

Despite the title, there's no need to travel to Spain for this rare Scottish showing of the influential Hispanic master. Highlights include the National Gallery's own "Woman Cooking Eggs" (you can't make a Spanish omelette without one) and a visiting "Man with a Ruff".
To 20 Oct. National Gallery of Scotland, The Mound, Edinburgh (0131-556 8921)
Jamming Gears
To celebrate the Serpentine's forthcoming redevelopment of the neighbouring teahouse, artist Richard Wilson takes the place apart. Wilson, best known for his pristine pool of oil, as smooth as a sheet of polished steel, promises to transform the space. Worth a visit.
To 15 Sept. Serpentine Gallery (0171-402 6075)

Occasionally, just occasionally, an exhibition comes along that, while small in scale, highlights a major aspect of art history. Such a show is this display of around 100 late works on paper from the Teutonic Tachiste's personal collection in Antibes.
To 20 Oct. Tate Gallery, Millbank, London SW1 (0171-887 8000)
