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.Brits prove that the art world is now more accessible and affordable than ever before as a record 3,500 people have attended the opening night of the 15th Anniversary of the Affordable Art Fair at Battersea Park in London.
To celebrate the anniversary, the Affordable Art Fair has commissioned a special 'high-speed' performance, 'The Complete History of Art (abridged)' by the Reduced Shakespeare Company. This year's art also includes names such as Damien Hirst and Marc Quinn.
This comes as research by the Affordable Art Fair reveals that 61 % of Brits wish they knew more about art - citing a lack of time as one of the key reasons they don’t. In fact, 71 % of people who recently studied art at school said it was their most enjoyable subject.
Brits' appetite for art is on the rise with art graduates having their best night on record at the Recent Graduates exhibition with more work sold than ever before.
The Affordable Art Fair started out in 1999 with a modest 90 galleries, and today the fairs around the world showcase work from over 1,000 galleries. In the last 15 years there have been more than 100 fairs in 11 countries, providing visitors with a welcoming atmosphere and an accessible space to discover unique and original pieces of art in a fun and lively environment.
Art lovers, art connoisseurs, and art novices alike are invited to Affordable Art Fair Battersea (23 – 26 October) to discover an array of unique and stunning art all priced affordably between £100 - £5,000.
