different perspectives
I think either create different perspectives or create from different perspectives but I'm not sure which - depends a bit on the following sentence. Or, less literally, you might say to play with different perspectives

Hmmm...always tricky when you can't clarify directly with the artist! Another suggestion would be allows me to approach my work from different angles.

The term "perspectives" might be better than something with "view". As Yolanda points out, "regard" is a tricky one.

creative exchange
I wouldn't add "of views" because they are doing more than that they are creating a piece together.
... 'the opportunity to engage in a creative exchange'
