With yesterday’s launch of Atlantis (watch this video here from CNN), we bring you a timely opportunity to purchase prints from space right here in Traverse City. Buy one of five prints by astronaut & Leelanau County resident, Jerry Linenger, and support TART!

The Glories of Earth Gazing: Photography from Space  
By U.S. astronaut Jerry Linenger

Captain Linenger took 10,000 photos during his mission aboard Mir and Atlantis all while traveling at 17,500 mph!He logged over fifty million miles in more than two thousand Earth orbits. Being a Michigan native, he had a strong desire to capture stunning images of the Great Lakes state– which he did.

Linenger has five prints in the series that are available for sale: two prints feature the Great Lakes, one highlights the Grand Traverse region, one depicts the space station and Earth; and one that showcases astronaut Jerry Linenger spacewalking. The entire series would look great in a conference room or home office. Individual prints make a great gift for the person ‘who has everything.’ Each print comes signed and includes a typed story from Linenger. These prints can be passed down from generation to generation.

100% of the proceeds during the Holiday months go to TART. Prints are available for $195 at Asher Gallery & Framing at 445 E. Front Street in Traverse City (next to Paesano’s Pizza). Stop in and purchase your prints today. (231) 932-8638
