The idea itself is traced back elsewhere to the education role of museums as propounded by Kenneth Hudson, UNESCO consultant and author of \"Industrial Archeology\".

Sunday open house


Explanation:
...I am assuming that this is a day when the public can see the artist at work...this might be a good answer if it is in the artist's studio, but probably not if it is in another location, like a museum.

agree  Christopher Crockett: Quite possible. It's certainly something of an ad hoc phrase.

"Meet the Artist/Craftsperson" Sundays


Explanation:
Sara's "open house" is the idea, surely; but whether or not this happens in the atelier or the museum/gallery, the concept is that the public gets to meet the artist/craftsperson (wherever).

There is, to my knowledge, no corresponding English/American phrase, so I'd use the quotation marks.

The French phrase may well be somewhat unusual, as well --that's for a native speaker to say.
