Barbara “Bobbie” Forgacz
For Bobbie Forgacz, art was more than something she did. It was part of the way she experienced the world, noticing color, light, beauty, and the small details that might otherwise be overlooked.
Bobbie’s love of art began early in her life. As life became centered around raising her family, she set painting aside for a time and devoted herself to being a loving mother. But the creative part of her never disappeared. It was simply waiting to be rediscovered.
Years later, when her daughters were teenagers and her beloved father became ill, Bobbie found her way back to painting. During a stressful time, art became a welcome escape and a place where she could immerse herself in color and creativity. That return to painting rekindled something that had always been within her and began a new chapter in her life as an artist.
Bobbie was entirely self-taught. She never had formal lessons, but learned through observation, experimentation, curiosity, and instinct. She was never afraid to explore a new medium or discover what she could do with it. Her work included watercolor, acrylics, pastels, colored pencil, and oils, each offering her a different way to translate what she saw into something of her own.
Her choice of subjects was just as varied. Bobbie never had a favorite because inspiration was never limited to one thing. Flowers, animals, waterscapes, landscapes, still lifes, people, or simply an image or scene that caught her eye could become her next piece. She found artistic possibilities everywhere. Something only had to interest her enough to make her want to capture it.
Painting was also a joy Bobbie shared with her husband, Al, whom she married in 1970. They spent many hours creating side by side, helping one another with their pieces, exchanging ideas, and offering suggestions. Bobbie was also known to give Al the occasional artistic critique, sometimes whether he asked for one or not. It was all part of the humor, affection, and companionship they shared. Art became another language between them, one they enjoyed together throughout more than five decades of marriage.
Her family was always at the heart of Bobbie’s life. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a very proud grandmother to Daniel, Isabella, and Jackson. Her life was filled not only with the people she loved, but with an enduring desire to create and an appreciation for the beauty she found around her.
The works gathered for this exhibition reflect the breadth of Bobbie’s imagination and her willingness to follow inspiration wherever it led. There is no single subject or medium that defines her work. Instead, the collection is a reflection of an artist who remained curious, who loved to experiment, and who allowed herself the freedom to create whatever captured her imagination.
Each piece began with something that made Bobbie stop and look a little closer. Through her hands, those moments became color, texture, form, and something uniquely her own.
This collection celebrates Bobbie as an artist and the simple joy she found in creating, exploring, and seeing beauty everywhere.

Creative Vision 2026
We are thrilled to share some exciting news regarding our next Creative Vision Show to be held from January 28th through the 31st, 2027. For the first time, Creative Vision 2027 will bring together all of Sun City's creative organizations: All About Art, Ceramics, Glass Crafters, Photography, Sew What Club, and Woodworkers.
This event will bring diverse artistic mediums together in a new, collaborative showcase that highlights the depth of talent in our community.
This project is all about unexpected partnerships and total creative freedom. Here is exactly how we will get started:
-
The Match
Everyone will be randomly paired with a partner from a different club (everyone will not be paired with a photographer, like in the past) -
The Medium
As a pair, you will use your club’s medium to bring your project to life (e.g., painting, photography, glass, quilting, sculpture, etc.). -
The Inspiration
Together, you will decide what you want to portray. Your inspiration can come from absolutely anywhere. You can:-
Take a walk together to find a real-world location.
-
Browse the internet or share personal photos you've already taken.
-
Base your project on a specific feeling, memory, or abstract concept.
-
There are no strict rules—what you create and how you find your spark is entirely up to you and your partner!
-
Sign Up!
We need your unique talents to make this collaborative event a success. We invite you to join us. Click on the link to sign up as an artist TODAY! https://forms.gle/wHwc8AkBiegUMddh9
Please note that the hard deadline to submit your registration is September 15, 2026.

CALENDAR PROMPTS FOR THE WALL DISPLAY, JANUARY – DECEMBER 2026
THE DISPLAY WALL IS OPEN TO ANYTHING YOU’D LIKE TO HAVE HUNG. YOU DO NOT NEED TO FOLLOW THE SUGGESTED PROMPT!
Unless otherwise noted or announced for a specific month, we will have pick up and drop off on the same day, the Thursday prior to the First Saturday of each month. You must have picked up and dropped off by 2 PM that day. Be sure your art is framed and wired properly! A proper wiring example is at the front of the art room. Please watch for updates. There might be date or time changes.
· January – FEATURING THE CLASSES
The Display Wall will feature examples of art made in All About Art classes. There will be weekly open houses with hands-on activities. We’ll get to show our community what we’re doing and how they can join in the fun!
· February – The Art from the Creative Vision Show
· March---ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL
We live amid incredible biodiversity. Let’s feature a wall full of the critters we see each day and those who are rare. NOPE—They do not have to be animals we have here in the Lowcountry. Terrestrial, aquatic and even extra-terrestrial will be welcomed!
· April— The Spring Art Show. After the show, one piece each artist would like on the Display Wall will be moved there after the show.
· May--- BOOK COVERS
Why not re-design the cover of your favorite book? As artists, we’ve all lingered over the jackets of books, thinking about the design, and wondering how it was chosen. Classic, romance, mystery, fiction or reality. It will be fun to see your cover design for a favorite book many may have read. Moby Dick or Murder on the Orient Express---it’ll be fun! Be sure to list the name of the book on your display card.
· June—A QUOTE THAT MOVES YOU
Many of us have special quotes that inspire or affirm us. You can interpret it, or incorporate the actual quote into your painting. If you wish, you can type or write the quote, so we can hang it next to your painting.
· July and August- WHAT YOU’RE WORKING ON. . .
If you’re trying a new medium, or perfecting an image, let’s share it with each other this summer. The hot, hot summer requires a wide and wonderful wall for us to all enjoy in the cool of the studio. Bring it all. The same pick up and drop off days in each month apply.
· September---INCORPORATE THE IMAGE!
Do you have a favorite photo or image that you have thought would look great in one of your paintings. Let’s try this! Adhere
a personal photo, an image from a comic book or magazine, or anything you want to your canvas or paper, and then incorporate it into an original painting. This was suggested by a member—and if you look on the internet, you will find some wonderful examples!
· October—SHADES OF BLUE
Black and White month was so popular (45 paintings displayed!) last year, that we’re trying it again….but with blue. Paint something that is primarily some shade of blue…or if you prefer, with just a touch of blue.
· November—Fall Art Show art will be hung.
· December – ANYTHING GOES
This seems to be a club favorite, so let’s do it again. Artists can display traditional and non-traditional art forms, prints, giclee, fabric art---really just about anything goes! Collages with found objects that are securely fastened to a canvas will be accepted. We will accommodate all art that can be hung on the wall. Up to two pieces per artist, or if you have an oversized piece you want to display, please just bring one. There will be a Featured Artist, but other than that, the whole wall will be used.
Some things will stay the same: The Featured Artist will remain a monthly feature in its current location. Art from the All About Art Spring, Fall Art Shows, and Creative Vision will be displayed in the month after the show. Things to remember: Abstract and Digital art is welcomed each month. Please, no AI generated art. Flat canvases without frames will not be accepted. The canvas must be framed, or be at least 1 3/8 “ with finished edges. Unless otherwise noted, the size of the painting or paintings submitted may not exceed 1248 square inches.
