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.

As day turns to night the rolling countryside landscape transforms, taking on a magical and ghost-like presence under moonlight.

The bewitching effects of moonlight, captured on film by photographer Liza Dracup is currently on display at the The Mercer Art Gallery until 4 September.

Drawing inspiration from the light used in paintings by Victorian artist John Atkinson Grimshaw, Dracup's latest images form a photographer's response to one of the most successful painters of the 19th century.

Her work will be shown alongside Grimshaw's paintings in the exhibition Atkinson Grimshaw: Painter of Moonlight, which runs at The Mercer Art Gallery, Harrogate, until 4 September 2011. For more information visit The Mercer Art Gallery.
