The Making of
T H E J A C Q U E LY N
The Jacquelyn was born from love and legacy. When talented artist and philanthropist
Jacquelyn “Jackie” Anderson passed from cancer in 2021, her husband Jim Anderson sought
to honor her vibrant spirit by creating something that would keep her passion for creativity,
curiosity, and community alive.
A master of her craft who remained fearlessly
curious throughout her life as a photographer,
designer, dancer, and explorer, Jackie embodied
the belief that art and connection could transform
lives.
With Jackie as our north star, we asked: How do we
create a space for the spiritually and intellectually
curious? The result is a club where every detail
from architecture to programming were chosen
with purpose.
From the start, our intention has been to extend
social wellness beyond the individual, fostering
genuine connection and purposeful living. At our
heart, we are a tribute to Sacramento and to
Jackie, a space built on the belief that connection
and community matter.
Though Jim passed away in August 2025, we are here to stay as a living homage
to this exceptional couple that showed up for our city. The Jacquelyn stands as both
a tribute to one remarkable woman and an invitation to all of us: to live a life that
leaves a legacy.
