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.An exhibition showcasing works shortlisted for the Threadneedle Prize for Painting & Sculpture worth £25,000 opened at the Mall Galleries in London today.
Now in its fourth year, the award aims to encourage new and emerging artists to make “fresh and intriguing works that are strong and topical observations on the world”.
This year marked a record for submissions with 4,350 works (more than double the submissions entered in 2010) considered by this year’s judging panel, Godfrey Worsdale, Lisa Milroy and Julie Lomax.
There is a £10,000 Visitors’ Choice prize which will be voted for by the viewing public to be awarded on top of the £25,000 for the overall winner and six £1,000 runner-up prizes.
