Ten Days on the Island is Tasmania's statewide arts festival, held every second year in March, as a celebration of our unique island culture and creative spirit. From coast to coast across two weeks, the festival showcases the extraordinary talent of Tasmanian artists alongside national and international peers, reflecting our rich cultural landscape and wildly beautiful home. In the lead up to the 2025 festival, we are pleased to introduce some of our key artists as the foundation of the upcoming festival program through Ten Artists Ten Days, bringing together a diverse group of creatives, makers and storytellers from different disciplines, generations, and places, and to open space for creativity, community, and connection across our island and across the region. The first of these artists are Caleb Nichols-Mansell, Hannah Moloney, Julie Fredersdorff, Ghenoa Gela (QLD) and the Dream Girls Collective (NZ), with more to be announced over the coming months.
