10 Days on the Island

10 Days on the Island is a biennial cultural festival held in Tasmania, Australia. The first was held in 2001. It is Tasmania's premier cultural event, and presents exhibitions, performances and community events in 50 locations around the island.

Initially organised and co-ordinated by Robyn Archer the event has established a significant place in the Australian arts calendar.

In 2004 the event was reviewed for the government, and various recommendations were made. For the first time in 2007, the festival held extensive regional tours of theatre productions.

In 2017, the Ten Days included the Tasmanian premiere of the Jane Cafarella play e-baby,[1] a two-hander play about "matters of infertility, adoption and motherhood"[2] in the context of gestational surrogacy which had been performed in Melbourne in 2015[2][3] and Sydney in 2016.[4][5]
