We Are Women on Fire
Women on Fire Reno is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose collective dream is to host gatherings that unite people in surprising and inspiring ways. Each event features hands-on creative activities, surprising talent mash-ups, and opportunities to support and give back to the greater community. When you attend, be ready to be welcomed into a vibrant, diverse, and creative ecosystem of fun.
Women on Fire Reno is dedicated to elevating, celebrating and empowering creative women and gender rebels of all backgrounds and identities. We host events year round, culminating in our most powerful annual event of the year: She’s on Fire: Women’s Art and Music Festival.

Pax “the good kind of scary” Robinson founded Women on Fire Reno (WoF Reno) as a women-led collective with a mission to elevate and celebrate women and gender rebels of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences—especially those in the performing and visual arts.
"Don’t build your house right up against her trees. There is fire in her eyes and she’s aching to burn free."
-Hades Daughter by Gia Torcaso and Pax Robinson
Like all fires we are staring small, with sparks and tinder, but with the right amount of heart and heat, who knows what is possible? We want to unleash the power of people coming together to recognize, celebrate and appreciate creative women and gender rebels of all backgrounds and identities.
Is it getting hot in here?
Most definitely.
“She’s on Fire” Manifesto:
Solidarity
We rise together. We act together. We support one another fiercely and without hesitation.
Kinship
We honor our connections, celebrate our similarities, and cherish the bonds that make us stronger.
Celebration
We honor achievements, amplify voices, and delight in the joy of creation—big, small, and everything in between.
We are a spark. We are a blaze. We are a gathering of hearts, minds, and passions that refuse to be ignored. Join us.
