As of 10 June 2012, I have attended at least 159 arts and culture events since September 2006. Mostly about dance, mostly were performances, mostly as an audience, but there were also museum visits, exhibitions, conferences, workshops; and as a performer, participants. It means that on average I attend an arts and culture event once every two weeks.
