Ten Days On the Island
Ten Days on the Island, Tasmania’s international arts festival, (Ten Days) is Australia’s only, state-wide, international arts festival and Tasmania’s premier cultural event. Since its inception in 2001, the festival has presented the work of an outstanding range of international, national and Tasmanian artists whose work celebrates global island culture. The festival has been presented to audiences in every corner of Tasmania, impacting the lives of almost one million people over the six festivals held to date.
Ten Days presents a multi-art form programme of free and ticketed events across Tasmania. A biennial event, the festival is a platform for the promotion of Tasmanian artists who are presented within an international programme featuring other island cultures and/or artists whose work explores island themes.
