Formerly known as 10 Days on the Island, the International Arts Festival will take place across Tasmania from March 5 to 29.

The festival features a series of dynamic arts performances by talents from across the planet.

Festival artistic director David Malacari said the event would come to St Helens, St Marys, Swansea and Triabunna.

"We have put together a dynamic festival program featuring international acts such as Cuban band El Son Entero as well as an abundance of creativity and ambition from national and local artists," he said.

"The coastal towns of Triabunna and Swansea both boast a surprising and rewarding relationship with Cuba that has seen Tasmanian tonewood donated to Cuban luthiers, and musical instruments to Cuban school children since 2011.

"This relationship will be celebrated when El Son Entero perform at Seafest at the Triabunna Marina on Saturday, March 28 at 5pm."
