The pursuit of fundamental values, the ability to think independently, a long-term perspective, and the synthesis of diverse information are characteristics shared by both art and the investment process. Nextep Investimentos supports the Pipa Prize, which recognizes and promotes Brazilian artists who have already established themselves in the market and are gaining prominence for their work. The initiative helps increase the visibility of Brazilian contemporary art, encourages artistic production, and supports emerging talent, while also representing a significant way to engage with the third sector. The award is presented annually and has featured exhibitions at major cultural venues over the years. Between 2010 and 2018, exhibitions showcasing the finalists were held at MAM-Rio. In 2019, they took place at Villa Aymoré in Rio de Janeiro. Since 2021, the annual exhibition has been held at the Paço Imperial.
