FAQ:

Are men welcome at “Women on Fire Reno” events?
Absolutely! We love respectful supporters of all genders and identities. There are even some male performers at our events, as our bands are required to be composed of at least 50% women. We are not trying to exclude men, we are trying to elevate women, who have historically been underrepresented in music and the arts.

What should I expect at a Women on Fire Reno event? 

Variety, surprise and creative opportunities galore! We love performers of all mediums and so you may get to experience what happens when a poet, a clown and a pole dancer walk into a bar. Astonishment is kind of our thing, so most events will have a few surprises to keep you on your twinkle toes. And we think creativity is a human right, so every event will have at least one (and usually several) ways for you to make, express and explore.

What’s with the mottos?
We encourage contributors to Women on Fire Reno to choose mottos that represent them in a sometimes serious, often light hearted way. These mottos help us get to know each other better, are a form of creative expression and are just plain fun. Our founder Pax chose the first motto, “The good kind of scary” and the mayhem ensued from there. You can read some more mottos here.
