Al Foosno?? bookstore in Al Shatee Souk had art supplies. Not sure what quality they are as it is not really my thing so didn't check it on a lot.

Hey,
You can buy most things here, for sure not the same brands you have back home in the States, but equivalent and as good….. I personally think that you will know what you exactly need and miss when you are physically here, so you can bring it back with you on your first holidays outside the Kingdom.
I use to miss having a good Alaskan Salmon fish meal, but now we have a restaurant here in Jeddah specialized on Salmon.
When I was living abroad, I also missed my Carpet Hand Swivel Sweeper Brush Cleaner… brought one back with me on my first break back in Saudi.

Regarding crafts stuff, I've seen some beads, etc., for sale at the Kuwaiti souk. But you'll never find a selection as good as AC Moore's!
