Years ago, I was a member of a group with identical opinions on most of our beliefs (not having to do with art, but I think the analogy holds). One member came in with very different opinions, and the arguments got heavy for a while. At one point, the arguer said, "Maybe I should leave". But another member spoke up and said, "We may not agree with you, but hearing your differences is valuable, because it forces us to examine our own beliefs more closely."
