Like many women of the 21st Century, the members of the CIRCLE24collective, have juggled their professional careers and familial responsibilities for decades, while finding time for their creative pursuits. After relocating to the Hudson Valley and particularly after the isolation imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, they were able to focus on their own art practices.
Jacqueline Oster invited a few artist friends to her home in West Hurley, NY, with the hope of creating a networking group. She reached out to Kate Masters and Sylvia Mueller, who were also looking for a community of artists to connect with. They decided to meet at each other’s homes where they reviewed and critiqued work in progress, shared local calls for art, and brainstormed about opportunities to show their individual work. In 2023, they officially became a collective and began to reach out to venues that would be interested in hosting group shows.
Since their inception, CIRCLE24collective has exhibited at the Old Dutch Church’s Gallery in Kingston NY, the Gallery at Citiot in Catskill, NY and at Millbrook Library’s Gallery in Millbrook, NY.
Circle24collective has three more exhibitions scheduled for the early half of 2025 at Cunneen-Hackett in Poughkeepsie, NY, Montgomery Row in Rhinebeck, NY and here at the Saugerties Library.
The library is pleased to host this exhibition of these
three women artists whose dedication, tenacity, and
creativity have resulted in a partnership

Books as Art at the Library
The Saugerties Library is seeking artists or artist teams to create temporary artwork made of books/paper from a discarded encyclopedia set. Art will be installed inside the building in site-specific spaces.
Contact Library Director Jennifer Russell (director@saugertiespubliclibrary.org) to set up a tour of the spaces.


Artist: Brian Lynch
Images from Everyday Life
In this photo, Saugerties artist Brian Lynch is seen installing a mural [5 x 21 feet] made specifically for our ground floor hallway between the Children’s Section and the Saugerties Public Library Art Gallery. It was created in connection with his show: Images from Everyday Life. The mural is collaged from various Lynch works. You can see many scenes and people depicted in Lynch’s unique style—a style that generates empathy for the human condition.
This unique work is the first
site-specific work done for the Library.
