KEB Hana Bank will help 30 promising young artists by financially supporting their overseas studies and exhibitions, it said Thursday.

Under the program Korean Eye 2020 sponsored by the bank, art pieces of the 30 selected artists will be on display at the lobby of the bank's headquarters in downtown Seoul until June 27.

The works, including photography, sculptures and video art as well as paintings, will be featured starting in March 2020 in exhibitions in Russia and the U.K., and then back to Seoul.

Inspired by the Parallel Contemporary Art (PCA), the bank seeks to help nurture cultural and artistic figures, thereby boosting the country's profile on the global stage.

"We have always tried to find young artists to help them live up to their full potential by providing them a stable source of financing," a KEB Hana official said.

"We hope this program will help the young promising people spread Korean culture in art circles."
