Ten Days Information

Ten Days on the Island, Australia’s only state-wide festival, was the festival that inspired them all. Tasmania’s premier cultural event now has a new name: Tasmanian International Arts Festival. 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. Ten Days has reached audiences in every corner of Tasmania, impacting the lives of over one million people over the seven festivals held to date and generating an investment return of ten dollars for every one public dollar spent. 2015 will see a reinvigorating of the Tasmanian International Arts Festival festival, a fresh new approach that will inspire and enrich the state’s creative culture. Additional events will also be held in the months between festivals, offering Tasmanian audiences exciting new cultural experiences all year ’round, like the Hobart Spiegeltent. We’ve changed, you’ve changed– in fact, the whole world has changed. Join us as we embark on a new journey to inspire, enliven and entertain.
