![There's painting, sculpture and a bunch of short plays. Also a bar, fair trade chocolate and a big bowl of Chex Mix. Now playing at Art Share L.A., <a href="http://theguide.latimes.com/performing-arts/a-thousand-words-event">"A Thousand Words"</a> is an inviting, if erratic, conversation between nine writers and nine downtown artists.
