So we've had a few inquiries as to where Anno Domini had picked up and moved off to, so... thought we'd take this opportunity to provide you with a visual of our new location at 366 South First Street in the downtown core of San Jose; courtesy of Big Brother, of course.

Drop in and visit us between Noon and 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday or call the gallery directly at 408.271.5155. For you fellow IM geeks feel free to message us with any inquiries during open hours via annodomini [at] mac dot com.

We look forward to another inspired year with all of you! Peace.
