ABOUT
WOMEN ON FIRE RENO
Pax “the good kind of scary” Robinson started “Women on Fire Reno” with the mission to elevate and celebrate women, especially those in the performing and visual arts. Women on Fire’s (WoF) collective dream is to co-create events that bring people together in surprising and inspiring ways. WoF is dedicated to creating opportunities for small miracles instead of small talk, facilitating chances for cross pollination between a diversity of people and communities and helping to create flesh and blood real world connections instead of flat, digital discord. All while throwing every stale event script out the window and searching for fresher and more meaningful ways.
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 women. To co-witness the magic that will happen when conflagrations of passion and connection burn between Reno’s women and their supporters.
