MICHAEL  X  SWEENEY





ABOUT


Michael X Sweeney is an artist, designer, and multidisciplinary creative based between New York and Minnesota. He is currently studying Architecture and Studio Arts at Bard College, where his work explores the intersection of space, perception, and self.

Working across mediums (including fashion, music, sculpture, video and architecture) Sweeney approaches creation as a way of understanding and shaping inner and external environments. 

He is the founder of Manifested Sanctuary, an evolving brand and creative project that blends clothing, visual art, and mindfulness into a shared language of self-development and expression. Through this work, he explores how creative practice can act as a tool for purpose, connection, and growth.

Sweeney’s background includes recognition from the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, published poetry, and leadership in both artistic and athletic spaces, including collegiate basketball at Bard. 

His work is rooted in creation as a process of becoming more alligned, and in offering that same possibility to others.
