The Tasmanian International Arts Festival is an opportunity for all Tasmanians to experience world class arts events.
The Festival is a statewide cultural event of international significance, with events and performances in approximately 30 locations around the state.
First held in 2001 as Ten Days on the Island, the Tasmanian International Arts Festival has become an important part of our arts, cultural and major events calendar.
It showcases the amazing talent we have here in Tasmania, as well as attracting an influx of national and international artists.
Importantly, it contributes to the Hodgman Liberal Government’s target of attracting 1.5 million tourists per year each year by 2020.
The Tasmanian International Arts Festival promotes our state nationally and internationally and adds to our significant appeal as an arts and cultural tourism destination.
The festival has something for everyone from cabaret, circus, dance, theatre, and the visual arts.
I urge Tasmanians to take the opportunity to see the incredible array of artistic offerings on show around the state as part of the Tasmanian International Arts Festival.
