Frequently Asked Questions

Q:   Will the Pirates of the Caribbean scenes be the same size as the Haunted Mansion scenes as I am considering additional Light Displays?  

    A:  The Pirates of the Caribbean (POTC) scenes will not be the same size as the Haunted Mansion (HM) scenes because the the lighting configuration is quite different.  The light displays for the HM scenes project from the bottom-up, while the Pirate scenes project from the top-down.  A Light Display will be designed specifically for the Pirate scenes.   This is available for sale at this link.

Q:   Your web-site says Cinderella's Castle is the only piece currently available for Disney World.  Are there plans for more pieces and a complete Main Street for Walt Disney World?

    A:  A similar program to that being created for Disneyland will also be created for Walt Disney World.  For Disney World there have actually been three sculptures released to include: Cinderella Castle, City Hall & Fire Engine Company No. 71, and Town Square.  There have also been some accessories available to include:  Princess Character Pack, Omnibus, and Horse Drawn Streetcar and the Fab Five Character Pack.  

Q:  How can I have my Olszewski works of art signed by the artist?

    A:  Olszewski Studios' long-standing policy on "signing" has been for the artist to sign pieces only at the event where he is appearing.  The rationale behind this policy is the personal meeting between the artist and the collector as well as protecting the integrity of the art work.  Less than 10 percent of all the art Olszewski has produced over the 45 years carries his signature.  Also, the maximum number of pieces the artist will sign at an event is limited to 3 per collector.  The event's host may have their own policy and it is always best to ask them 1-2 weeks ahead of the event date.

Q:  Will I be receiving future mailings like the postcard I've received announcing the launch of the Olszewski Studios' web-site?

Q:  Can the lights be changed in the pieces?

    A:  Yes, the lights can be changed in the pieces.  The LED’s should not need be changed as they have a life expectancy of 10,000 hours.  The small street lamps have a 1.3mm incandescent bulb and can be changed easily by removing the faux wood base (unscrew the 3 or 4 mounted screws).  Pull the lights out from the street lamp from below and clip the wires.  Take a new bulb and twist each pair of wires together (keep the positive and negative wires apart using electrical tape).  Push the new bulb back up into the lamp post and tape the wires to the piece, so the bulb does not slip back into the post.  Put the faux wood base back on the piece.  New street lamp bulbs can be purchased at your local hobby shop or from Olszewski Studios at www.olszewskistudios.com.
