It depends on how far into to the arctic you go. At the north pole, 90 degrees latitude, the sun sets around September 24th and does not reappear until around March 19th. So that's about 6 months.

How many times a year does the sun rise and set in the arctic?

That depends on your latitude. The Arctic is all of the area north of the Arctic Circle, which is 66.56° north latitude. At the Arctic Circle, the sun sets every day, although on the June solstice it just barely sets then immediately rises again as soon as it sets. The farther north you go in the Arctic, the fewer the annual number of sunsets (and sunrises). At the northernmost point, the north pole, the sun rises once a year and sets once a year.
