Hi,

I am planning to put together an Artists Directory that could be searched and browsed by region, artist type, etc.

I would like artists to be able to create an account on my site, and then list their profile, their portfolio, have their own blog, their calendar of events, etc. Basically, create a personalized artists page that they would maintain themselves (residing at something like: www.mywebsite.com/artist/thornomad/) with their images and text -- customizable by them, but conforming to generic template.

Would like for visitors to be able to email the artists directly from the site, leave comments about the artists work, and view both the individual artist's calendars as well as a global calendar that could be viewed also by region and field of artwork. Hope for it all to be search engine friendly, and an accessible and easy to use portal for individuals searching for artists.

I would like to include a forum feature; both a public forum (for anyone to be involved) and a registered artists forum. Furthermore, I would like to be able to distinguish between female and male artists, as that part of the project will be supported by a women's arts agency (would be nice for them to have their own forums too).

Finally, I would like the option of creating an online store in the future -- hopefully one that can be linked to the individual artists, and as a general store to be browsed.

Is this something that drupal is capable of ?

Thanks,

Damon
