The FirePony Vision

Attract, inspire, and nurture a diverse, self-sustaining community which celebrates the creation of art, interactive experiences, and the collective sharing of skills and ideas.

The FirePony Mission

Foster and maintain an inclusive, participatory atmosphere which encourages a culture of play, artistic creativity, and freedom of expression.

*FirePony Creative Society is the trade name for Playa del Fuego, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit registered in Maryland.  .

The FirePony Community Art and Civic Engagement Program strives to support artists and organizations around the mid-Atlantic region year-round in their efforts to develop innovative, collaborative, community-focused art and civic engagement projects. See the CACE Overview.

We encourage artists and organizations that share a passion for the burner ethos and demonstrate a commitment to bringing participatory, interactive art, or forward-thinking collaborative projects to their communities to apply. Learn more about the CACE Grant Program here. 

FirePony Creative Society is a volunteer-run organization. Together we build and strengthen our amazing community through collaborative efforts, in which we celebrate and encourage experiments in the creation of art and develop a culture of play. All of our events, community activities, and grant programs happen because incredible volunteers like you step forward and help make them a reality. Whether you want to help out by volunteering at an event or to join an artist’s team, or would like to stretch your leadership legs by joining a planning team or the organization’s board of directors, we invite you to reach out! Our community is large and growing, and we can help point you in the right direction.  Email board@firepony.org
