Sydney multipurpose cultural centre Carriageworks has been forced to call in administrators due to coronavirus.

The company, known for its live performances and art exhibitions, announced it had called in voluntary administrators KPMG on Monday night following the cancellation of dozens of events.

“The sudden cancellation or postponement of six months of activities due to restrictions on public gatherings has resulted in an irreparable loss of income,” a spokesperson said.

It’s one of many arts companies across the country that have felt the pressure under new coronavirus restrictions.

The NSW Government is yet to announce a targeted stimulus package for the arts sector.
