Promoting zine culture, elevating graffiti and tattoo artists, and bringing attention to new and international artists has been a focus of the gallery programming. [4] Historically Anno Domini has been active in First Friday and Street Mrkt events. [5]

Many artists have shown their work at Anno Domini, often in the emerging stages of their career, including Titus Kaphar, [6] [7] David Choe, [8] Joseph Loughborough. [9] The gallery has featured art groups including Guerrilla News Network (in 2003); [10] "Perpetual Motion Roadshow" (2012), [11] and the collaborative work, "The FriendMakers" (in 2004) [1] by the artists Don Pendleton, Craig Metzger, and Michael Sieben.
