Give to Ten Days on the island

Every gift to Ten Days on the Island helps bring extraordinary art to communities across Lutruwita/Tasmania — from city stages to regional halls, beaches to backyards.

Since the inaugural festival in 2001, Ten Days on the Island has brought people together for transformative encounters. The festival has featured everything from musical flotillas circumnavigating the island to captivating light installations that turned the Botanical Gardens into an imaginative art playground.

Large-scale, ambitious artworks have always been a key feature of the festival’s programs. As Ten Days on the Island enters a new chapter, Artistic Director Marnie Karmelita leads the way with an innovative festival model focused on spectacular events designed to inspire people across the state. Your support will help make this exciting new direction possible.

Why Your Gift Matters

Art changes lives. Our festival creates moments of connection, joy, and reflection that resonate long after the curtain falls.

Your donation directly supports the commissioning of bold new works by Tasmanian artists, free community events in regional towns, and the infrastructure that brings world-class art to every corner of the island.

As a small organisation with a statewide mission, we rely on the generosity of people who share our belief that art has the power to create positive change.
