Dorsi Diaz, Program Director (Downtown Hayward/808 A Street) – An artist since she was a small child, Bay Area native Dorsi Diaz went on to become a well-known sign painter and muralist in the SF Bay Area and Northern California as an adult. She and her former partner owned Signs Now in Fremont for almost two decades. She has also taught art to adults and children, and currently serves as the Executive Director of the Sun Gallery in Hayward. An avid writer, she has over 300 published articles with HubPages, The Arctic News, Boomer Warrior, and the ANG Newspaper Group. Dorsi has also served as an Alameda County Arts Commissioner. She graduated from Chabot College and is currently attending Cal-State East Bay where she is focusing on how nonprofits operate and thrive. In her “free” time, she takes photos of her pup Zoey Van Goey, a pup influencer and working model dog on Instagram. Dorsi’s favorite motto is “Life is Service,” and she loves helping people of all ages find their talents and purpose. She feels she has found her creative home once again at EngAGE.
