Out & About Ocean County - A Free News Guide to Arts & Leisure Events Out & About Ocean County is a free publication produced four times annually, which highlights arts, cultural & heritage events taking place in Ocean County. The news guide features an extensive listing of Ocean County- based events, as well as articles within each issue which spotlight an upcoming event and its producing organization, other relevant cultural topics, and news and updates from the Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission. Out & About Ocean County is the answer to the public and greater arts, heritage and cultural community's clamoring for a publication which provides a cultural "clearinghouse" of event listings from multiple countywide venues and groups throughout Ocean County, for residents and visitors alike. Launched in January 2005 by the Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission as part of a New Jersey State Council on the Arts -funded arts participation project, the free news-guide has continued beyond the project's term to become a permanent publication. Out & About has grown from 16 to 32+ pages and is now a quarterly publication. How to Obtain a Copy of Out & About Ocean County Out & About is available in all 20 branches of the Ocean County Library, the County Connection at the Ocean County Mall, various Ocean County parks facilities, arts and cultural organizations, the Ocean County College, other local and county government facilities, senior centers, and retirement communities.
