PIPA Prize is a Brazilian arts award of the PIPA Institute. From 2010 to 2018, PIPA had a partnership with the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro – MAM-Rio. In 2019, the PIPA Prize's exhibition was held at Villa Aymoré, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The prize was created to promote Brazilian art and artists by stimulating the domestic contemporary art production; motivating and supporting new (but not necessarily young) Brazilian artists. Although it supports up-and-coming artists, the PIPA Prize's goal is not to discover new talents, but to recognize new Brazilian contemporary artists that already have a critical following and a place in the art market.[1]
