Serart is a collaboration album by the two Armenian musicians Serj Tankian ("Ser-"), lead singer of System of a Down, and folk multi-instrumentalist Arto Tunçboyacıyan ("-art"). It was the first release on Tankian's own label, Serjical Strike Records.

In 2008, Tunçboyacıyan confirmed in an interview that a second album was planned. However, due to heavy schedules and lack of prioritisation, the album was cancelled and "won't be recorded anytime soon."[citation needed]

The album was re-released in a deluxe edition on April 21, 2009, along with the short film "Sun Angle Calculator" and the two remixes from the Serart Sampler.[2]
