On February 22, 2023, Korea University (KU) and Art Linker Co., Ltd., a digital platform that promotes the appreciation of culture and arts, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to offer new freshmen a free premium account. The premium account includes unlimited access to art house data, participation in non-fungible token (NFT) work transactions, and discounts on exhibitions and performances. In addition, students will be able to consult digital books and exhibitions, as well as receive updates on cultural and artistic events. 

Art Linker is much more than a virtual space – it can also be seen as an easily accessible tool to educate oneself. The platform offers art lessons held by established artists, and its algorithm automatically recommends exhibitions and performances based on the user’s preferences. The primary aim of the agreement between KU and Art Linker is to pique students' interest in music and art, while providing them with more opportunities to explore these topics online. Excitingly, The Granite Tower (GT) will also be an integral part of this partnership, as the company is expected to start curating content for various newspapers and broadcasting stations on campus.
