Marc DAgusto

Marc D'Agusto was born on January 9, 1971, in Woodbury, NJ. One might imagine an artist's development would be some romanticized mythology of serendipitous convergences, not unlike Mozart, a classic narrative revealing a higher anointing and passion to the creative spirit of a young prodigy. Arguably, these streams may have been present in Marc's life, but by his middle school years they were supplanted by a mythic lack of discipline and opportunity, and a passion for mischief more in tune with Tom Sawyer and Shakespeare's Puck. Sadly, it wasn't from virtuous affect nor notions of higher love for the creative spirit that unlocked his artistic propensity. It was one fateful day in 7th grade study hall where he learned the potential power of the arts to acquire female attention. Similar teenage courtship efforts led him to champion status in wrestling, cross-country and competitive street dancing. Dedicated as he was to his quest, his artistic skills developed quickly, from comic book characters, psychedelic scenes, to a variety of sculptural articulations. After pushing his way through a sub-par high school arts program and continually missing every opportunity to land a date along the way, his passions lead him to a career path as an artist. He first attended The Art Institute of Philadelphia, and then later completed his BFA with a concentration in graphic design at The College of New Jersey.

He has since been a career artist with over 18 years experience as a graphic designer, art director, web designer, and corporate educator, working with various organizations in New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia. Marc is a dedicated artist, educator, and creative arts director. He has 5 years experience as the creator and director of a private school art program while also teaching at the secondary school level. He is the founder and executive director of Gravity a 501(c)(3) arts CDC initiative. He motivates, challenges and nurtures students of all ages to develop their unexplored creative talents. Marc is passionate about fostering students’ abilities to see the world as it is while exploring how it is perceived. He is gifted in unleashing individuals’ personalities in their art, careers and personal life by encouraging creativity through the exploration of their worlds. This has led Marc to Montclair State University of New Jersey, where he is currently pursuing his Masters in Fine Arts degree with the desire for creative expression and innovative approaches to life.
